Will the Trump presidency produce a more politicized media, or just more sitcoms? The 2024 election cycle is finally over – so, what’s coming to your screens next? Today, Ben and Nayeema dissect what the media learned from 2024 and where we go from here. They first chat to Semafor’s Max Tani about the news media, and then sit down with Ankler Media’s Janice Min – who has been reporting on (and embedded in) Hollywood culture for decades. The conversation tackles whether politics and art stay linked or divorce, if Donald Trump will wake up “wokeism” again or if Americans turn to escapism, and why TV is chasing the “gourmet cheeseburger.” Listen to the latest episode here: https://lnkd.in/gscmycrN

“This is the first Democrat that Trump has run against who has huge crowds that are excited to see the candidate,” Semafor's David Weigel says. “It has mattered that people feel kind of excited about voting for Kamala Harris.” Listen to the full interview on Mixed Signals from Semafor Media:?https://lnkd.in/ese9zqRr

With election night right around the corner, building trust in media is, collectively, our most important mission. Today, I’m sharing an open letter to Jeff Bezos with a straightforward message: to restore trust in news, we need to look forward—not back. After 30+ years leading The Economist, The Atlantic and Bloomberg, I know that outdated models won’t get us there. It’s time for business and media leaders to come together and reimagine what news should be for today’s world. I’m starting with a bold step: a national summit in Washington, D.C., next year, hosted by Semafor, bringing the top minds in publishing, journalism, media, and the investor community into one room to tackle the trust crisis head-on. See you there.

?? In a noisy election cycle, it’s hard to find signals — even of the mixed variety. Ben and Nayeema sit down with reporters David Weigel and Max Tani to parse what you’re not seeing, from the “insane” TV ads at a Pittsburgh Steelers game and the print ads in an Arizona nail salon to an unpublished Washington Post endorsement quashed by Jeff Bezos. One of these things may decide the election, and another could shape the blame game that follows. Listen to the latest episode here: https://lnkd.in/ese9zqRr
