Ep.1: Picking Up Where We Left Off on New Media

There is an undeniable paradigm shift in how societies receive their information and news, and how journalists produce it. To better understand this landscape, we convened a dialogue conference in Tunis in 2019 to discuss new business models for media outlets, diversity in newsrooms, new modes of storytelling, trust in the media, disinformation and misinformation, and the trajectory of journalism. To pick up where we left off in 2019, we invited back Bayan Tal and Fatima Bahja, who discuss opportunities and challenges in new media in light of the Covid-19 pandemic.
