Tech x The Future of News Forum

Watch the program here! Join us live at 6:30 p.m.

Technology has revolutionized access to information, enabling news to spread instantly and to reflect and represent diversity. And yet together with this promise comes the risks posed 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 the news business itself—with the intention to restore trust, build shared understanding, preserve the vital role of the free press, and empower citizens to help shape a better future.  

But how? 

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 interconnected 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
