In this episode, we answer this question! Rob is joined, from Madrid, Spain, by the Deputy Editor of Opinion at El Pais, Pablo Ximenez de Sandoval. El Pais is the largest Spanish language news media company in the world, also known as the “paper of record” for the Spanish speaking world, much the same way that the New York Times company is to the USA. Together they explore and dissect the media industry's evolution over the last 30 years, particularly delving into the fate of print and traditional media, the effect of “internet business models” and what the next 30 years holds.

Pablo brings his years of covering politics, industry and culture in California, for El Pais, as well as his decades as an on the ground reporter and journalist, to this conversation among friends, which highlights the necessity for media organizations to adapt and refocus on customer needs and their value propositions amidst changing consumption patterns. They explore the rise of independent journalists alongside traditional media entities, emphasizing the importance of entrepreneurial spirit.
