Tech X The Future of News Forum

Technology has revolutionized access to information, enabling news to spread instantly around the world, and to reflect and represent diversity. And yet together with this promise, comes risk, when disinformation goes viral.  Amid these changes in the digital era, we have a unique opportunity to help shape the future of news - both the practice of journalism, and news business -- with intention to restore trust, build shared understanding, preserve the vital role of the free press in our society, and empower citizens to help shape a better future. 

But how? 

Forum speakers will explore the underlying drivers of change, what’s at stake, and who decides and benefits. Conversations will center on these issues through three inter-connected threads:  

• Evolving audiences engaging with news through technologies in new ways 
• Tech-powered changes in news creation and consumption - from AI-generated content to news delivery on TikTok 
• Transformation of business models, and evolving regulation and policy impacting the industry
