DUBAI (ALETIHAD)
American journalist, writer and political commentator Tucker Carlson said the media landscape has changed completely over the past five years, with several major traditional media companies going out of business, to be replaced by an enormous constellation of digital media. Carlson argues that digital media is more accurate, interesting and influential than old media. However, Carlson believes the rules of new and digital media are still in flux.
The new rules of the digital media landscape, which is set to play a more profound role in shaping the future, will be discussed by Tucker Carlson as he speaks at the third edition of the 1 Billion Followers Summit, the world’s first and largest event dedicated to shaping the content creator economy. Organised by the New Media Academy in Dubai, the Summit will take place from 11 to 13 January 2025 under the theme ‘Content for Good’.
Carlson invited the millions in his audience to watch his panel discussion during the upcoming Summit, where he talks about the new rules of influence, sharing his views on how stories can make a real difference.
Tucker Carlson will be answering several questions that outline and shape the future of media: What are the parameters of this new landscape, who controls it, and what are its effects?
