NEWS INDUSTRY
historical transformation
You will have noticed that the news and media industries are struggling with credibility since COVID. Historically the transformation of the news industry is not just a recent tale of technological advancement but a story of human adaptation and opportunity. Storytelling is part of our biological heritage. It's a super-power that can be used to warn of danger, or guide people to truth and abundance. Our mental health is wired closely with trusting the source of our information.
Fear and skepticism are natural reactions to the unfamiliar and to change. Consider the early elevator passengers, wary of its safety. Similarly, elevator attendants once played a crucial role in reassuring passengers, much like today's citizen journalists, equipped with AI tools, are guiding us through a transforming media landscape. Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (now X) is a testament to this transition, showcasing the impact of recognizing and leading industry transformations, as he did with the banking, automotive, and space sectors. His track record lends credibility to his ability to identify and seize opportunities, a quality we can all aspire to emulate.
This context is not merely academic but serves as a practical roadmap. It's crucial to understand the evolution from Franklin's printing press to Musk's modern 'town square.' This is about harnessing the potential in your network and relationships, transforming them into a credible, community-driven force in storytelling. The rapid changes in marketing and communication demand adaptability, visionary thinking, and a deep understanding of diverse markets – qualities that many wellness innovators embody and utilize.
Innovators like Angelina Musik, (AHA! Founder) who overcame personal and professional challenges to create platforms promoting awareness and self-responsibility, or the many featured by AHA!, who have transformed their lives and businesses, serve as role models in embracing change. Their stories illustrate the power of resilience, innovation, and advocacy in navigating and leading through transformations.
