Traditional journalism schools are struggling to keep pace as AI, global storytelling, and rapid news cycles transform the industry. A June 2025 Guardian analysis warns AI may eliminate up to 50% of entry-level journalism jobs. How can education evolve to deliver faster, deeper, and more relevant training for the next generation of media professionals?
Across the world, young creators are shaping culture faster than the legacy institutions that did so ages before them. Their videos quickly shape identity, shift perceptions, and sometimes influence markets or diplomacy before traditional actors react. As audiences trust themselves and peers more to surface truth, this new generation is emerging as a global soft-power force capable of building bridges, or widening divides. This conversation explores how youths and creators are turning authenticity into influence, how their stories travel across borders, and how governments, technology and new media formats, and investors can partner with them to design information ecosystems that elevate dignity, connection, and meaning.
