Is journalism collapsing?! Major layoffs across the industry are happening and national news brands are shuttering. Just today, the Los Angeles Times laid off 115 people. This follows layoffs at myriad other outlets. The rise of independent journalism on social media has been great, but it’s increasingly hard for independent journalists to sustain a business online, and their work is often shadow-banned and demoted within tech company algorithms. Anyone hoping billionaires might save the media will be disappointed. As the New York Times recently reported: Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, bought The Washington Post in 2013 for about $250 million. Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong purchased The Los Angeles Times in 2018 for $500 million. Marc Benioff purchased Time magazine for $190 million in 2018. But it increasingly appears that the billionaires are struggling just like nearly everyone else. Time, WaPo and The LA Times all lost millions of dollars last year and the difficulties facing the companies are getting only more severe. Web traffic has waned for many publishers as referrals from search engines like Google ebb, and the rise of new applications powered by artificial intelligence has the potential to erode readership further. “These vitally important news publications still find themselves ‘transitioning’ from print to digital — with major ongoing legacy business costs — as they build brick by brick a mainly digital future,” said Ken Doctor, an analyst and media entrepreneur. Mr. Doctor said the billionaires in the news industry were showing “greater signs of fatigue,” stemming from challenges including “news anxiety and avoidance and fierce advertising competition.” “The very rich find it very difficult to lose money year over year,” Mr. Doctor said, “even if they can afford it.” 👉🏻 Follow me @taylorlorenz for more tech and online culture breakdowns 👈🏻 #news #journalism #media #latimes #nyt #washingtonpost #jobs #journojobs #gaming #popculture #music #sports #contentcreator #creator #influencer #journalist #apps #internet #onlineculture #internetculture #socialmedia #technology #elonmusk #commentary #justchatting

Is YouTube becoming TV?!? In a letter to top creators, YouTube's CEO compares content creators to Hollywood studios, saying their work ‘can’t be dismissed as user-generated content’. YouTube released new details about its payments to creators on Tuesday, offering a pledge to continue its commitment to long-form storytelling as it faces a challenge from TikTok for creator and audience loyalty. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan just sent an email to top creators that revealed the new data just weeks after TikTok began urging users to post more long-form, horizontal content, saying those that do will find their videos favored by the company’s algorithm. The YouTube announcement is the latest sign of growing competition for audience loyalty not just among social media platforms but between social media platforms and more traditional entertainment outlets such as Netflix. In releasing its new numbers, YouTube sought to emphasize how much entertainment is consumed on its site. “Creators should be recognized as next-generation studios,” Mohan wrote. "[Creators] are redefining the future of the entertainment industry with top-notch storytelling that can’t be dismissed as simply ‘user-generated content.’” Mohan said YouTube has paid out more than $70 billion to creators, artists, and media companies over the last three years and added more than 3 million channels to its partner program, which allows creators to monetize their YouTube content. All of this comes as YouTube stars MrBeast and the Sidemen have apparently struck deals with major streaming services. Netflix will air a documentary about the Sidemen, a U.K.-based YouTube super group with over 20 million subscribers, and MrBeast is reportedly in talks with Amazon Prime Studios to host a reality competition show on its streaming service. “When I started at YouTube, people thought about content from major studios and content from creators as entirely different, but today that stark divide is gone,” Mohan said. “Viewers want everything in one place, from a live sports game to the BBC to Khan Academy and NikkieTutorials.” Mohan said that people are now watching YouTube videos the way that they used to sit down and watch traditional television shows. Globally, viewers now watch more than 1 billion hours on average of YouTube content on their TVs every day, he said. And according to Nielsen’s report on streaming in the United States, YouTube was the leader in streaming “watch time” for the past 11 months. This shift has led creators to think differently about the content they produce, with an increasing number now considering how to optimize their content for a living room experience, rather than a phone, according to YouTube. In the last three years, the number of top creators that received the majority of their watch time on the big screen increased more than 400 %, YouTube said. Major creators such as Ms Rachel, who makes children’s entertainment content, and SypherPK, who makes gaming videos, have seen their living room watch time double in the second half of the year, according to the company. Mohan said that some people now consume YouTube Shorts on their television sets. Shorts, intended to compete with TikTok, now averages more than 70 billion views daily, he said, while the number of channels uploading Shorts has grown 50 percent year over year. #technology #tech #contentcreator #news #creator #technews #youtube #youtuber #ceo #techtok #tiktok #elonmusk #technews #creatoreconomy #influencer #influencers #influencermarketing
