Deep dives
The Shift in Media Control
The dynamics of media control have markedly changed in the modern landscape, where traditional news organizations no longer serve as the gatekeepers of information. Once, media outlets had the exclusive ability to control the dissemination of news; they dictated what was shared with the public. Now, influential figures can directly communicate with their audience via social media, bypassing traditional channels entirely. This shift raises critical questions about how media companies will adapt to this new reality, where they're forced to compete for relevance in a world inundated with diverse information sources.
