How The Creator Economy Owns The Future of News

Description:

In a 2021 Edelman study, 58% think that most news organizations are more concerned with supporting an ideology or political position than with informing the public. With public distrust in the news at an all-time low, Americans are turning to other, hyper-local sources for their daily news consumption like paid/free newsletters, YouTube channels, and podcasts—turning traditional content creators into journalists, editors, and publishers.

Together, a former TV producer and one of America's largest local news and information platforms discuss how the creator economy will transform newsrooms and journalists. They'll also dive into what responsibilities platforms have regarding the content created and how these new forms of media can help increase public trust in journalism.
