The Future of News: Trust, Creators, and AI in a Changing Media Landscape
The National Digital Roundtable and the Embassy of Austria invite you to an important panel discussion on the future of news and the forces reshaping how people discover, trust, and engage with information.
As audiences fragment, creators gain influence, artificial intelligence changes how information is produced and surfaced, and legacy news organizations adapt to new business realities, the media landscape is undergoing one of its most significant transformations in a generation.
This conversation will bring together journalists, creators, and media leaders to explore what these shifts mean for public trust, democratic dialogue, the business of news, and the work of communicators navigating a rapidly changing information environment.
Our special panelists:
Jenny Abamu, Maryland Policy & Politics Reporter, WAMU 88.5
Katerina Eva Matsa, Director, News & Information Research, Pew Research Center
Tony "TonyPinDC" Polcari, Principal and On-Air Host, Current Strategy, Monumental Sports & Entertainment, Fox 5 DC
Peter Cherukuri, Founder, LeaderForce Studios
Doors open and breakfast is served at 8:30 AM. The panel will start at 9:00 AM.
Special thanks to the Embassy of Austria for hosting this National Digital Roundtable event.
