With a world permanently changed from a global pandemic, what is in store for the news publishers, and how should we best meet the challenges ahead. E&P assembled four industry leaders to offer their thoughts on:
-> The value of media companies today and what will we be worth as we put COVID-19 behind us
-> Are philanthropic revenue opportunities or non-profit models a realistic way to help offset content creation costs?
-> What is the future of maximizing consumer revenue for the news we produce, and can we expect it to grow in the months to come?
-> Should we look at partnerships with tech media like Facebook and Google or continue to fight for compensation for the news they monetize?
-> How do we find new talent and build critical diversity in our industry, and what priority should we place on having our newsrooms reflect the communities we serve?
