    The media becomes an activist for democracy
    “We cannot be neutral about this, by definition. A free press that doesn’t agitate for democracy is an oxymoron.”
    Embracing influencers as allies
    “News organizations will increasingly rely on digital creators not just as amplifiers but as integral partners in storytelling.”
    Action over analysis
    “We’ve overindexed on problem articulation, to the point of problem admiring. The risk is that we are analyzing ourselves into inaction and irrelevance.”
