    Beyond the Feed: Reimagining Content's Value Ecosystem

    In our current ad-driven media landscape, what content rises to the top is too often determined by its ability to cheaply captivate attention rather than deliver substance. This panel brings together leaders from independent media, podcasting, streaming, and digital publishing to examine the unintended consequences of the internet's ad-supported model on the type of stories that get told and elevated. We'll explore ethical, future-forward monetization approaches - from user-funded models to brand partnerships anchored in authenticity rather than interruption. The goal: ensuring high-quality, societally-impactful content can sustainably thrive without being held hostage to the incessant demands of the attention economy.
