This is for a Speaker in the category for a Beginner audience.
Ten years ago, a short video called EPIC 2014 made waves among the future-of-media crowd for its depiction of a news universe ruled by a tech behemoth called Googlezon. It’s 2014, and now everyone’s in the future-of-media business (whether they like it or not). Over those ten years, the news industry’s outlook on the future has changed — a lot. And as you can tell by the number of “The Future Of” sessions on offer here and at conferences like SXSW, we’re still clearly fascinated by the future. So how will we think about the future? How should we?
Megan Garber writes about the future for the Atlantic. Matt Thompson (little-known fact) actually invented the phrase “the future of.” Together, they f̶i̶g̶h̶t̶ ̶c̶r̶i̶m̶e̶ will lead a droll and enlightening jaunt through time that will forever answer the question, “Is the future of journalism?”
How does your submission contribute to the diversity of the conference?
The speakers bring gender diversity and ethnic diversity to the table. (Megan's a white woman, Matt's a black man.)
