Summary

Digital growth rates are in the low single digits and are forecast to continue falling for the foreseeable future. So, shat happens when digital stops growing? This episode breaks down three key trends—from AI-driven disruption to changing local business dynamics—that foretell a very different future for local media. It’s not doom and gloom, but it is a wake-up call for anyone relying on the old playbook. Gordon & Corey offer some practical suggestions -- including finding a new job.
