With the disruption of AI, the way of learning has changed, meaning that those looking to adapt and learn are more likely to benefit during a time of uncertainty.

Looking to future generations, Lostanlen provides some sage advice and encouragement for those looking to enter the media industry, before calling on her peers to do more to attract new talent: “Come on, we’re in the media industry… we can probably reach out to the younger generation better.”
“We have to accelerate the effort we put into finding, attracting and retaining new talent,” she says.
