Panel - The Changing Media Landscape: Talks at GS Session Highlights

Jacki Kelley, Meredith Kopit Levien

Bloomberg COO Jackie Kelly and NYT Revenue Head Meredith Levien discussed strategies to sustain global, fact-checked journalism by shifting from traditional print monopolies to multi-platform digital models that prioritize trust over speed. Both executives highlighted distinct operational adaptations, such as Bloomberg's training of "ambidextrous journalists" for cross-format reporting and the NYT's time-specific content briefings, alongside a strict two-source verification protocol to differentiate their brands in a saturated market. While acknowledging the obsolescence of formats like the Sunday paper, the leaders emphasized that maintaining newsroom stability and adapting to evolving consumer needs are critical for remaining relevant in an industry defined by rapid change.
