There’s a trend here. Social media networks, which, until recently, claimed that legacy media were a thing of the past, are gradually becoming legacy media themselves.

Predictions for Journalism 2025.

The Nieman Lab has asked some of the smartest people in journalism + media what they think is coming in the next 12 months.

Dozens of articles with topics such as:

- Why 2025 is all about User Needs

- Publishers find AI not that Lucrative

- You'll Get What You Pay For
“Free content will be increasingly synonymous with AI slop that’s barely worth anyone’s time to read or pay to advertise on.”

Highly interesting take! Go for the "boring minutiae" and let the people know what you think they ought to know. [That is: Care less about a) what the audience might want to know and b) is measurable]
Of course, it also remains true that you have to be able to afford it, difficult as a USP.

Exactly, just presenting #facts will not do! Maybe we need behavioral science, maybe also a bit of #sociology to understand how not only individuals process facts.

"As our social media feeds fill up with AI-driven bots, sheer repetition of lies may erode the most essential resource for action on #climatechange — public support" #NiemanLab #Scicomm #Wisskomm

“Objectivity is a tricky concept. Ultimately, we’re with the skeptics who say it never really made sense. And yet! For a long time “objectivity” packaged together many important ideas about truth and trust. American journalism has disowned that brand without offering a replacement. At the end this post, I’ll point to some starting points for figuring out what values a new generation of journalists could promote instead.” [Jonathan Stray/NiemanLab]
