With screens everywhere emitting a constant media barrage, consumers feel overwhelmed, pushing back on privacy. Similarly, networks are pressured to provide up-to-the-second coverage, protect their content from piracy, and maintain brand trust while podcasters and vloggers provide serious competition. Digital entrants have redefined ‘the newsroom’ while legacy outlets constantly update its tools and practices to remain relevant.
