SXSW 2020

The Future of Independent Media

Description:

We'll focus on trends in journalism and what journalism will look like in 10 years: specifically, the evolving relationship between audiences and journalists (and the new wave of deeply engaged membership journalism), how journalism will be funded in the future (the role of philanthropy, paywalls, and crowdfunding) and the intersection of technology and independent media (for example, how will people get their news in 10 years?).

Takeaways

  1. A perspective on how individuals will engage with news platforms in the future: will they trust media more, or less, than they do today?
  2. How will journalism be funded in 10 years? Will the sector still be dominated by media conglomerates? Or will crowdfunding play a greater role?
  3. Tech platforms have had a huge impact on the economics of news. In ten years, will they have doubled down on their monopoly or fallen out of fashion?
