With younger audiences increasingly getting their news from third party platforms and “news aversion” becoming prominent across audiences, it’s clear the media industry is once again on the precipice of transformative change – but what exactly should editorial teams do? Join Marcus Mabry, SVP of Editorial and Programming at CNN Digital to discuss how media leaders can not only adapt but also thrive in the face of change. As an industry veteran who’s been at the forefront of the rise and fall of newsmagazines and newspapers and the emergence of digital natives – Marcus will draw on his POV as a Black and LGBTQIA+ newsroom leader with 30 years of experience at The New York Times, Newsweek, Twitter/X and now, CNN to discuss his lessons learned in times of tumultuous change.

This hot topic discussion will bring together DCN members to discuss the ins and outs of building dynamic and successful editorial and creative teams: From platform pressures and newsroom transformation, to harnessing the creator economy and more. These closed-door, members-only discussions are the best place to share insights with your senior executive peers that will shape and grow your business.
