Episode 017: The future of journalism - a talk with Gerald Holubowicz

“We need to reconnect with our audiences, in a really deep and meaningful way - and just saying 'we’re going to open the comment section' is not enough [….] it’s a much different job than most journalists are doing today”

In this episode of the Evolving Media Podcast we'll take an in-depth look at journalism in 2019 and in the future. There are a lot of challenges facing journalists today - financial challenges, challenges from new and unexpected competitors, the challenge of an ever-more elusive audience, and the challenge to disprove the “fake news” checkmark, over and over again. Where is journalism heading, and what hope is there for journalism's survival - and in what form?

Joining me to talk about these challenges and a lot more is Gerald Holubowicz. He’s the Digital Product Manager at the french Liberation newspaper, he keeps tabs on all things journalism and digital over at the journalism.design site and he’s doing in-depth research into the world of Deep Fakes. Enjoy!
