Expect much more of this. Why give free content in the form of quotes & interviews to media corporations?

Every content deal is a business relationship, down to the individual quote. If it doesn’t make sense, just go direct. Build your own distribution to avoid distortion.
Gen Z gets this intuitively.

They are all individual media entrepreneurs who understand the commercial value of attention (“check out my Soundcloud”).

And so corporate journalists are getting paywalled from below.
A Gen Z influencer might love the media and want to become a journalist. Or they might hate the media and distrust all journalists.

Or a mix of both.

But either way they won’t give a scoop to an employee of another media corporation. Maddow doesn’t go on Ingraham or vice versa.
