Welcome to this week’s Press Gazette Future of Media newsletter on Thursday, 28 August.
First there was video for publishers: short snippets often aimed at going viral in search of new advertising revenue.
Now, consumer news publishers are increasingly seeking to find deeper engagement and returning audiences with personality-led videos and podcasts based around key newsroom talent.
We found out how The Independent is seeking to lead the charge on this trend via its new Studio division.
Conversely, traditional broadcast news has moved away from its reliance on star presenters to pull in ratings in recent years.
Former head of Sky News John Ryley has written for Press Gazette about the 'post anchor era' of broadcast news. He believes the future of TV journalism now lies more in coverage from reporters in the field than presenters reading from autocues.
And finally we have an exclusive comment piece written by the heads of news publisher trade bodies in Canada and the EU.
They believe a new digital trade agreement could be a chance to stop big tech from 'strip mining' the news industry.
Press Gazette has now released the full line-up of speakers for the 2025 Future of Media Technology conference at the London Hilton Bankside on 11 September.
This event is purely focused around discussing and showcasing new ways to make journalism pay in the digital age. Full details here.
