Fighting for Depth in a Shallow Media World
In a landscape driven by clicks, speed, and algorithmic reward, depth is becoming a lost art. “Churnalism”, the recycling of online content, has replaced original reporting, leaving audiences skeptical and disengaged. With just 32% of Americans expressing trust in the media (Gallup), the challenge is clear: how can journalism reclaim substance in a digital age built for brevity? This session explores how newsrooms, platforms, and creators can harness technology to restore depth, context, and credibility in an attention-fractured world.

Living in the Spotlight: Privacy, Risk and Resilience in the Age of Fake News
In an always-on world, influence comes with a hidden tax: exposure, distortion, and sometimes, destruction. From viral rumors to deepfakes, from intrusive paparazzi to weaponized social media campaigns, today any leader, creator, or entrepreneur can find their private life turned into public spectacle in a matter of hours. In this conversation, Cecilia and Richard Attias share, together on stage, how decades at the intersection of media, politics, and business have shaped their understanding of risk, reputation, and psychological resilience. They will discuss how to set boundaries, protect your family, educate your children, respond to attacks without amplifying them, and build a “circle of trust” in an era where trust is fragile. This session is a candid masterclass on how to manage privacy and protect your dignity in the age of fake news—while continuing to lead, to create, and to speak out.
