Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

It's doing very well.

TBPN

And so there's a sort of barbell effect that's happening

TBPN

at least within our portfolio.

TBPN

And then we have some that are in the middle that are impacted more.

TBPN

Either they don't have as strong authority in the category, or they're a little too broad that they don't go deep enough in a specific category.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

Yeah.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

I think, you know, first of all, for writers, we're a great home for the best journalists in the world.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

In part because, you know, I wouldn't have thought this was a necessary competitive advantage several years ago, but it is today, which is that we're not impacted by political influence.

TBPN

We're not under the FCC's thumb.

TBPN

We don't have licenses that they need.

We're not trying to buy Warner Discovery and need merger approval.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

I've been at the company now seven years and not once have they ever called to interfere with anything we do.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

Therefore, I don't need to do that with our editors.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

We can just hire the best editors and stay out of their way and let them do their job the best.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

So that is very attractive to journalists because they know when they come to our company, they're not going to get a call from the CEO or the board or whatever about why did you say those things about this advertiser or whatever it is.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

No, the journalism comes first and will always come first.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

So that helps us attract very established writers.

TBPN
Condé Nast CEO Explains Why Human Journalism Wins in the AI Era

But at the same time, we also

are a great place for people earlier in their career to learn, because they can learn from the best.
