The media business in 2024
To kick off the year on The Rebooting Show, I spoke to Axios senior media reporter Sara Fischer about the main themes of the year ahead. Among the topics we covered:
The value of identifying patterns from the torrent of news
The unrealistic expectations of the ZIRP/scale era
Cyclical challenges vs structural changes
The wasteland of general interest publications
The existential threat of AI to many publishing businesses
AI’s impact on the non-content aspects of the publishing function
How debt will accelerate the inevitable consolidation of streaming services
