The Addition Charlotte Henry

This is the latest Additional Conversations segment, originally broadcast on the Daily Tech News Show on Tuesday, 28 May 2024. I joined Tom Merritt and Sarah Lane to discuss Netflix and how streamers are mimicking traditional TV networks.







We also discussed how much people actually use AI and sales trends for electric vehicles. Full episode and detailed show notes here.

Last week was Upfronts week when advertisers hear the pitches from various media execs. It's a hugely important moment in the media industry calendar and helps give a sense of where things are going. Times are changing though. The tech companies are playing a much bigger role. We saw Google run its Brandcast event once again, with CEO Neal Mohan declaring that creators should be eligible for Emmys. Sports rights are becoming evermore critical too. They are a rare scarce resource in the media landscape. Marc Stenberg from AdWeek joins to discuss it all.

We haven't covered AI on the show for a while... so time to return to what has been one of the key topics of 2024! Journalist and author Chris Stokel Walker joins the show to assess where we are with AI. We discuss whether tech firms are delivering what they promised, the interest from regulators and what effect AI will have on journalism (and other industries).

Co-hosts Chuck Joiner and Charlotte Henry discuss data that suggest Apple TV+ is not all that popular. Is it contributing to peak streaming? And who is happy to chop and change streaming services each month?

This week Ben Mullin of the New York Times joins the show to discuss a row engulfing NPR after a long-serving editor hit out at the organisation in an excoriating essay.







Uri Berliner had worked at NPR for 25 years. Then he released an essay for The Free Press and went on its podcast, raising a number of concerns about the direction of the organisation he clearly cares for. He expressed fears about a lack of ideological diversity and coverage of some key stories. The fallout was swift and significant and Berliner has since left the organisation. We try to unpack everything that has happened and explain the importance of NPR.
