Blocking AI crawlers backfired: news publishers lost 23% of traffic: Large language models reshaped news consumption patterns starting in August 2024, but publishers who blocked AI bots experienced worse outcomes than those who didn't, according to research published December 31, 2025, by Rutgers Business School and The Wharton School. https://ppc.land/blocking-ai-crawlers-backfired-news-publishers-lost-23-of-traffic/ #AIBots #NewsIndustry #MediaTrends #DigitalNews #Publishing
Maurice DuBois announced he’ll leave “CBS Evening News” on Dec. 18, following co-anchor John Dickerson’s earlier retirement — both departures come amid declining ratings. While DuBois expressed gratitude publicly, reports suggest he was already told he was leaving, prompting a so-called “rogue” farewell. CBS is now scrambling to sign Tony Dokoupil, amidst rumors that new editor-in-chief Bari Weiss, known for her conservative shift, seeks to steer CBS towards the right by poaching high-profile anchors. Will these moves reshape CBS’s identity and ratings?

Quoted in a new Fix article on how publishers can respond to AI bots scraping journalistic content.
I argue that big outlets can negotiate deals, but smaller publishers are being left behind — and short-term tools like Offerwall or pay-per-crawl don’t solve the deeper structural issues.
Protecting journalism in the AI era requires fairness, accountability and stronger direct ties with readers.

This year, social media displaced TV and online news websites/apps as the top way Americans get news, according to Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism (RISJ). According to their latest Digital News Report, the change is happening all over the world, but "faster and with more impact" in the United States. Here's more detail and other findings from the research, courtesy of Nieman Lab.
Ricardo Sandoval-Palos, public editor of PBS, joined @SFPublicPress executive director Lila LaHood at a recent fireside chat to discuss the future of media. The conversation took place before President Trump had announced an executive order attempting to defund public media, but Sandoval-Palos was anticipating the move. “The threat is at the local station level. The bulk of rural stations around the country, and even some urban stations probably cannot stay open if they don’t have the support from the [Corporation for Public Broadcasting] CPB. Some stations, up to 60% of their budgets are made up by funds from CPB,” he said.

"Traditional media is dead. Social media is declining," says @AxiosNews. Their team have created a @Flipboard Storyboard that examines America's dozen-or-so powerful bubbles, which are based on ideology, wealth, jobs, age and location, and mean that your news could be completely different from that of your friends, neighbors, family and colleagues.
It's not just in domestic #US coverage that our #media is complicit with the abuse of power.
#Pakistan is one clear, decades-long example of this.
We create and maintain the "problem", then demonize our victims, everywhere in the world.
"Divorcing mainstream #American #news #media, an institution, from the institutions of #AmericanPower, like #ForeignPolicy, requires an entire remanufacturing of the #NewsIndustry itself."
"Creating caricatures dehumanizes people"
Thinking the #twittermigration might also serve as an inflection point for #journalists covering #inequality and #climate. While those issues certainly existed when #Twitter boomed, the beats did not. Now, the number of folks joining #Mastodon who self-identify as climate or inequality reporters seems striking.
