Es sind viele große Themen, die die Medienbranche zurzeit bewegen. In dieser Episode blicken wir zurück auf Tag eins der MEDIENTAGE MÜNCHEN. Host Lukas Schöne fasst zentrale Themen und Debatten zusammen: von demokratischen Herausforderungen über Plattformmacht bis hin zum Wandel der Medienökonomie. BLM-Präsident Dr. Thorsten Schmiege warnt vor wachsender Medienverdrossenheit und Hass im Netz. Er fordert neue Antworten auf die Frage, wie sich verlässlicher Journalismus in Zukunft finanzieren lässt. Dr. Markus Söder plädiert für mehr Freiheit und Investitionen im digitalen Wettbewerb. Die internationale Perspektive liefern Goli Sheikholeslami (Politico) und Jeff Jarvis. Beide blicken mit Sorge auf die Entwicklungen in den USA. Sie sprechen vom Niedergang des Lokaljournalismus und über die Rolle der Medien in einem zunehmend polarisierten politischen Klima. Jarvis fordert einen grundlegenden Perspektivwechsel: weg vom „Content“, hin zum Journalismus als Dienstleistung für Communities. Zum Abschluss spricht Lukas Schöne mit Medienanalyst Evan Shapiro über die Verschmelzung von klassischem Medienbetrieb und Creator Economy. Warum TikTok, Reddit und YouTube längst keine Randphänomene mehr sind, weshalb der Begriff „Reichweite“ überschätzt ist und was Medienhäuser seiner Meinung nach jetzt tun müssen, um relevant zu bleiben.
