Media is in the middle of the biggest transformation in its history. Print is shrinking. Digital is expanding. Attention is fragmenting. And the founders in this section are building the companies trying to make sense of it all.
These interviews cover every corner of the media world. Digital publishing. Podcasting. Video production. News. Entertainment. Advertising. The business models that used to work, the ones that work now, and the ones that might work tomorrow. Nobody knows for sure, which makes every conversation here interesting.
The founders here are navigating real tension. How do you build a media company when the platforms control distribution? How do you monetize content when people expect everything for free? How do you maintain quality when the economics reward quantity? These aren’t easy questions, and the answers are different for everyone.
You’ll find insights on content strategy, audience building, advertising models, subscription revenue, and the challenge of creating media that matters in a world that’s overflowing with content. If you’re building in media, working in media, or just consuming media and wondering how any of it makes money, these conversations are illuminating.
