Disrupt you! strategies for billion dollar success in the era of endless inn...Jay Samit
How can we make a difference with our lives when our world is changing faster than we can keep up? Technology, Science, the climate and even our jobs are transforming well beyond Darwinian rates. Our generation is being impacted by change like no other generation before it. We are the most educated and diverse in history. We are aware and adaptable, inspired and creative. We want our lives to have meaning, and we're not afraid to tweet, post, comment, like, swipe, or share them.
Our tablets are our TVs, and our phones are our teddy bears (show someone sleeping with phone). We believe in meaning over money, mentors over bosses. We are more concerned about making a difference, than making a buck. And if we’re not happy in the workplace…we will find or create a new one.
And with all this spirit, expectation, and energy that we invest in our careers, our generation also faces the biggest challenges: A shortage of jobs, lower wages, rising costs, crushing student debt, and a business landscape that is changing faster than most employees can adapt. Companies that survived for decades are being disrupted and put out of business seemingly overnight. Could your job, your company, your industry be next? How secure is your position? Are you really living life or just paying bills until you die?
Disrupt You will show you how every threat to the status quo is actually an opportunity in disguise. Disruption isn’t about what happens to you, it’s about how you respond to what happens to you.
The self-made billionaire in his twenties, an unheard of possibility a decade ago, now happens with regular frequency. The startup company, with little funding and a small staff, displaces hundred-year-old companies with billions in revenues virtually overnight.

This tightly interconnected world of the 21st century is exploding with new opportunities for personal empowerment and financial independence. What do all of these disruptions have in common? They were led by people who first disrupted internal assumptions about what they were capable of achieving and then unlocked that newly discovered potential to change their world.
Disrupt You will teach you how to master personal transformation, seize opportunity and thrive in this era of endless innovation. Disrupt You is an engaging, paradigm-shifting book that demystifies the mechanics of disruption and shows how anyone can thrive in an era of technological transformation.

Lessons from Community-Centered Journalism for Local Journalism ResearchDamian Radcliffe
Slides presented by Regina Lawrence - based on our research - at the 2024 Local Journalism Researchers’ Workshop, March 25-26, 2024 at Duke University. The presentation outlines key points from our research, including: why Community-Centered Journalism matters, the backdrop that it plays out against, and five key challenges for growing this journalistic practice.
After the sobering read seen in our 2022-23 report, this year’s World Press Trends study strikes a more cautiously optimistic note, with more than half of the respondents conveying a positive outlook about their companies’ business prospects for the foreseeable future.
This is despite publishers grappling with challenges on various fronts, including elevated inflation and interest rates, surging paper and printing expenses, continual shifts within advertising markets and audience behaviours, as well as wider geopolitical uncertainty reflected in conflicts in Ukraine, the Middle East and elsewhere.
Meanwhile, wider strategic challenges such as the surge of Generative AI, changing relationships with platforms and continued challenges to press freedom and freedom of expression, also continue to vex many journalists and publishers.
In response, news publishers are inevitably looking closely at their revenue strategy, investment priorities, areas of focus, cost management, and their stance on areas such as AI and other technologies. We delve into these themes extensively within this report.
This report is primarily based on the findings of an online survey distributed to WAN-IFRA members and other senior media executives between July and September 2023, and was available in four languages (English, French, Spanish and German).
Survey participants were typically members of the senior team at a newspaper or a newspaper group. Based on the information provided by our respondents, a third (66%) are C-Suite (CEOs, Publishers, Managing Directors). A further third is either a Commercial Director/Heads of Strategy or Executive Editor.
We received 175 complete responses from 60 nations around the world. Using classifications developed by the World Bank, 58% of respondents come from developed economies and 42% from developing economies. Our sample also features a wide range of different countries with respondents coming from countries as diverse as Argentina, Canada, Russia, and Indonesia. They also came from some of the world’s largest media markets, including Germany, India, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Through the data and insights that they provided, we are able to comprehend the attitudes of today’s industry leaders in a variety of business and editorial roles. Their observations, regarding the sector’s present and future, can be seen throughout this report.
As ever, we want to express our appreciation to everyone who participated in this annual survey. This report would not be possible without their contributions.
A huge thank you to all of our contributors: Damian Radcliffe, Dr. Francois Nel, and Teemu Henriksson. Last but not least, this report would not be possible without the support of our partner, Stibo DX.

Redefining News: A Manifesto for Community-Centered JournalismDamian Radcliffe
This forward-thinking report makes the case for embracing a more inclusive, community-focused model of journalism, one that prioritizes listening to and collaborating with communities to produce relevant, equitable and impactful news and storytelling. The report features an actionable framework to put the principles of Community-Centered Journalism into practice and explains how this approach differs from traditional models of journalism, with potential benefits including rebuilding trust, tackling inequities, and fostering civic engagement.
Building a Stronger Local Media Ecosystem: The Role of Media PolicyDamian Radcliffe
This paper plays out against a backdrop of continued closures and diminished local news reporting across much of the United States. It explores the role that media policy can and should play in supporting local journalism.
In examining this topic, we investigate three fundamental questions:
What is local media policy?
What are the key existential issues and/or problems local media policy must wrestle with?
What potential solutions to the local news crisis can media policy potentially help address?
The core of our response to these questions is derived from a series of five public webinars hosted by the Tow Center. Through these events, we invited a range of industry and academic experts to share their perspectives on areas related to these major themes.
Our conversations explored the scope of media policy, barriers to implementation, opportunities for policy to make a difference, and some of the unique characteristics that shape U.S. media policy and attitudes toward potential policy interventions.
To this, we have added further context and updates on some of the latest policy developments, based on a literature review and our continued interest in this subject.
The latest World Press Trends report shows that business sentiment in the industry has taken a downturn, in a context where multiple challenges face news publishers around the world. Yet there are causes for optimism, as revenue diversification progresses and publishers double down on new revenue sources and editorial products.
This year’s World Press Trends study makes for a sobering read after the optimism of our previous report. The mood in the industry has changed, and publishers find themselves in a more unpredictable business environment due to a number of challenges, including high levels of inflation, rising paper and print costs, as well as ongoing changes to advertising markets.
The change in business sentiment is one of the main findings of the new World Press Trends Outlook report. As in the previous years, the analysis is based on an online survey distributed to industry leaders. 167 news executives from 62 countries took part in the survey in Fall 2022 – a big thank you to them for sharing their insights, results and strategies.
WAN-IFRA also works with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Zenith for key performance indicators (global revenues and circulation). For audience insights, we work with analytics specialist Chartbeat. World Press Trends is supported by Protecmedia, the content management provider.
Damian Radcliffe, longtime industry analyst, journalist and academic, authored most of the report, offering his analysis and context to the survey and emerging trends. Dr. Francois Nel, also a longtime analyst, well-known academic within our industry and longtime contributor to WPT, provided his analysis, contribution and data analysis of all our collected data. WAN-IFRA’s Andrew Heslop shared his analysis on our Press Freedom data, and WAN-IFRA’s Teemu Henriksson helped to coordinate the project along with Dean Roper.

Social Media in the Middle East 2022: A Year in ReviewDamian Radcliffe
Welcome to the latest annual study on Middle East Social Media Trends. This report, the eleventh in a series dating back to 2012, provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of social media in the Middle East. As the most comprehensive and up-to-date study of its kind, it is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the region's digital landscape.
In this report, we examine the most popular social media platforms and the ways in which people are using them. We explore the impact of social media on politics, business and culture in the region. Our findings will be of interest to anyone interested in how social media shapes the way we connect with one another, as well as the ways in which we consume and find information. These trends are relevant to marketers, journalists, brands and businesses, as well as government agencies and public bodies.
Over the past decade, the Middle East has seen a significant increase in social media adoption. Today, it boasts some of the highest penetration rates of social media in the world, making it a key market for platforms and businesses looking to engage with Arab audiences.
From staying in touch with friends and family to consuming news and entertainment, social media - as it is around the world - is an integral part of daily life in the region. Social media is also playing an increasingly important role in politics, with many politicians and activists using the platforms to connect with the public and mobilize support for their policies.
Damian Radcliffe is a journalist, researcher, and professor based at the University of Oregon.
He holds an endowed chair as the Carolyn S. Chambers Professor in Journalism, and he is also a Professor of Practice, an affiliate faculty member of the Department for Middle East and North Africa Studies (MENA) and the Agora Journalism Center, and a Research Associate of the Center for Science Communication Research (SCR).
Damian is also a three time Knight News Innovation Fellow at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University, an Honorary Research Fellow at Cardiff University’s School of Journalism, Media and Culture Studies (JOMEC), and a life fellow of the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA).
In spring 2023 he will be a Visiting Fellow at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford, his alma matter.
With over 25 years of experience in the media industry, Damian has worked in editorial, strategic, research, policy and teaching roles in the USA, Middle East and UK. He continues to be an active journalist, writing regular features for leading trade publications such as Digital Content Next, International Journalists' Network (IJNet), What's New in Publishing, journalism.co.uk and other outlets.
He is a globally recognized expert on digital trends, social media, technology, the business of media, the evolution of present-day journalistic practice and the role played by media and technology in the Middle East.
As an analyst, researcher and trainer, he has worked with a wide range of industry and academic organizations including the BBC World Service, Facebook, FIPP, INMA, Thomson Reuters Foundation, World Association of News Publishers (WAN-IFRA) and the United Nations.
He has been quoted on issues relating to digital media and journalism by major outlets such as AFP, BBC, Business Insider, Editor & Publisher, NPR, The New York Times, Snapchat, Wired and Voice of America.

The deck includes tips for digital safety, self-care and mental well-being, as well as managing digital overload. It features links to resources and materials from DART, CPJ, Poynter and others.
This edition of WAN-IFRA’s annual flagship research and report reveals an industry challenged but optimistic about its business. It examines the results of publishers’ business in 2021, their forecasts for 2022 and beyond, and the trends and issues shaping the industry.
Our research shows news publishers feel confident about tackling the ongoing coronavirus crisis, and that some of their early pandemic-era pivots are beginning to pay dividends. However, publishers still need to navigate considerable transformation and turmoil, even if there are signs of a resurgence in global advertising markets and a maturing of many reader revenue strategies. The invasion of Ukraine has further undermined companies’ plans, as how that conflict will unfold can have long-lasting effects on industries across the board, in addition to the humanitarian crisis it is causing.
As in the previous years, the World Press Trends Outlook analysis is based on an online survey distributed to industry leaders. 162 news executives from 58 countries took part in the survey in Fall 2021 – a big thank you to them for sharing their insights, results and strategies.
In addition, WAN-IFRA works with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and ZenithOptimedia for key performance indicators (revenue, circulation and ad spend). For additional audience insights, we work with analytics specialist Chartbeat.
World Press Trends is supported by Protecmedia, the content management provider.

• “Seven days of heroin” by The Cincinnati Enquirer
• The staff from The Cincinnati Enquirer won the prize on local reporting
• As intern, she was in the right place, at the right time
• But, she made the difference. In her own initiative, she developed a database
for all the reporters. There, she documented the time, location and the nature
of every opioid-related arrest.
• “She knows exactly how to find a story out of data and ask the
right questions; that’s one of the most important skills.”

https://www.politico.com/media/tipsheets/morning-media
Summary + cite Industry Source you found this in
• Under the Trump Admin, the U.S. has moved its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
• Monday was supposed to be a big media win for the Trump Administration. The networks were
all primed to provide ample coverage -- Big media win for Palestine
• An awkward split screen played out in the media when many died during the protests
• The smiling faces of dignitaries (Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu) airing on
one side contrasted greatly with the scenes of violence and chaos in Gaza.
What surprised you/why this matters
• Liberal and conservative outlets, including FOX, were quick to cover the chaos in Gaza and
success/celebration in Jerusalem
• Additionally, the decision hinders any positive movement of a peace agreement or a two state
solution in the near future

4. How brands can keep their identity while using Alexa’s voice
https://www.prweek.com/article/1464417/brands-keep-identity-using-alexas-voice
https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/finally-ask-alexa-order-pizza-dominos-uk/1440852
Summary + cite Industry Source you found this in:
• Amazon Alexa has grown dramatically since its birth in 2017 with over 50 billion
searches.
• Brands are retaining their identity and personality by creating key phrases.
• For example:
• Domino’s AI personality, Dom, is on hand to respond to customer questions with a
quirky and fun tone of voice that reflects Domino’s brand.
• Although, Dom will not speak in his own voice, he still has to use Alexa's.
What surprised you/why this matters:
• With the way tech is constantly growing and our ability to produce AI, I was surprised
how difficult and how strong of barriers there are to create a new voice.
• Why aren't they able to produce different voices such as male, female, accents and
etc.?
• Why this matters is because it shows how evolved our world has become/is becoming
with AI technology as well as the strong emergence of voice, but it also highlights the
laziness of the new public (need a code or can just order freely? Kids..)

5. I’m Not Quoting Enough Women by David Leonhardt
https://us7.campaign-archive.com/?u=d4573d74e237e345f9abc9034&id=08a9eae102
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/05/13/opinion/women-sexism-journalism-conferences.html
Summary
• Adrienne LaFrance was a freelance journalist who decided to explore the gender breakdown of the people she was
quoting. What she expected was different than the results. Only 25 % of her quoted sources were women--similar to
the overall share in media.
• Since LaFrance’s work, the underrepresentation of women's voices has been recognized and addressed.
-For example, Ed Young (The Atlantic) wrote a piece on how he was working to quote more women.
• David Leonhardt addressed the skepticism that some people had about efforts to quote more women: “The problem
isn’t journalism or panels, and it’s silly to pretend otherwise. Many fields remain dominated by men. Of course their
voices are more prominent. Let’s work on the pipeline, not some kind of quotation quota.”
-The pipeline: making sure men and women have equal opportunities to serve in government, run organizations and
become experts.
-Journalists and organizers aren’t going to solve the gender imbalance by themselves.
• “All of which means that journalists aren’t being neutral if they just go about their business and pretend to ignore gender.
They are allowing sexism to help dictate their sources — and are perpetuating the problem.
• What surprised you/why this matters
-Women in several professional fields have got together to create female-expert lists.
-Brookings Institution will launch a database of female experts in technology.
-Hundreds of men have signed a petition to not accept a position on an all-male panel.
-Website ‘Gender Avenger ‘ keep statistical data on panales and guest appearances
-Tumblr called “Congrats you have an all male panel” → manels Emily Poole
6. Microsoft is launching a new version of its $22,000
mega-tablet - and it looks super futuristic
http://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-surface-hub-2-price-details-availability-2018-5
Summary
• Microsoft unveiled the Surface Hub 2, a mega-sized 50.5-inch Windows 10 tablet for
conference rooms (launches 2019).
• Users will have the power to switch the tablet from portrait to landscape orientation due
to an incorporated hinge on the back.
• Can combine multiple Surface Hub 2s and converge them into one big screen.
• Thinner and lighter then the Surface Hub 1 (83 inches).
• What surprised you/why this matters
• I found this interesting because of the push for more interactive technology
combining physical space and user interaction.
• Could lead to more practical uses such as incorporating this idea in homes,
schools, etc. (Made me think of sci-fi movies where everything is touchscreen).
• Implication: price isn’t practical - limits the target market.

7. Instagram will soon show you just how
addicted you are to the app
Summary + cite Industry Source you found this in:
• Instagram is planning a new feature that will show people how much time they spend on
the app.
• The new feature was uncovered by computer scientist Jane Manchun Wong, and
confirmed by Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom.
• More tech companies are trying to introduce time management features to fend off
criticism that they encourage people to spend too much time on their phones.
What surprised you/why this matters
• This matters because our addiction to social media tends to be excessive, and we never
know when to stop using social media platforms like Instagram.
• Hopefully, features like this will bring self-awareness to all of us about how much time we
spend on social media and why we should manage our time on social media platforms.
• Features like this should bring awareness to tech companies, as well, to deliver better
usage controls to devices for children.

10. Lamborghinis lined the street outside a massive NYC
cryptocurrency conference, but it turns out they were
only staged rentals
Summary-http://www.businessinsider.com/cryptocurrency-exchange-rents-lamborghinis-to-park-outside-consensus-2018-5
-A cryptocurrency exchange used expensive Lamborghinis as a way to
entice consumers to invest. The cars were not owned by anyone who
attended the convention in New York City… they were rented for a hefty
price
-What surprised you/why this matters
• This shows false advertising at its finest… because they’re implying that investing in
cryptocurrency is a great idea when in reality it’s risky
• This shows how people want to acquire wealth and status. BitMex, the company
that staged the cars knew how to target their audience to used the cars as a way to
get more money in their pocket.

• https://thenextweb.com/google/2018/05/17/google-news-has-a-
new-feature-that-may-just-pop-your-filter-bubble/
• What surprised you/why this matters
• Unlike most other news app, “Full Coverage” shows differing
opinions
• Algorithms have limited the amount of viewpoints we consume in
media and this app removes algorithms entirely so you can view
stories that you normally would not be exposed to.

Why it matters: compare it to how kids in our generation would go outside to play or beg their parents to order a pizza for dinner with their friends. Now, kids are always on their mobile devices, faces glued to screens and now we have made it even more convenient for them to do simple things by just speaking.
