Loading player...
In this episode of The Angle Podcast, Scott, co-host of The Angle reflects on his 20+ years in media and explores the challenges and opportunities shaping the industry today.
We discuss:
• The role of Google and antitrust issues affecting publishers
• The potential of AI tools to optimise newsroom operations
• Strategies for diversifying revenue streams
• The importance of audience-first approaches in modern journalism

Disclaimer: This particular episode, while we have only just published it, was recorded in August 2024. This means that some references to my job at the time are no longer accurate and my thinking around some issues such as usage of AI in the newsroom has also shifted / improved since then.
