b°future festival in Bonn
In the pastPublic value Journalism is under pressure: limited resources and new challenges from AI call for sustainable business models. At the b°future festival, our Founding Director Martin Kotynek will join leading voices from media, research, and philanthropy for a panel discussion on concrete actions and solutions for the future.
“How can we develop and sustain successful business models for journalism that serves the public interest?” - Speakers from diverse backgrounds will explore this question, examining approaches that range from established media outlets to new participatory formats. The challenges and opportunities posed by AI will also play a central role.
The discussion will focus on financing, organizational structures, and corporate culture as key success factors for public value journalism. The panel aims to provide both inspiration and practical starting points for media professionals, founders, and funders who want to strengthen a sustainable media ecosystem.
In addition to our Founding Director Martin Kotynek, the panel will feature:
- Lucy Kueng, board member of Neue Zürcher Zeitung / Senior Visiting Research Associate at Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford University / jury member at Media Forward Fund
