Creative, sustainable, diverse and young: Are these the new pillars of journalism? | GMF24

With democracies around the world under threat, journalism is also coming under increasing pressure: Who will uphold the Fourth Estate, and in what form? As journalism needs new allies and fresh faces, how can young adults be persuaded to join the rat race of the trade? And if they do - what kind of journalism will be considered attractive and worth sustaining among younger generations? How do the views and preferences of Gen Z and Generation Alpha fit in with journalists - and journalism - from prior decades?
