In this episode of the DIACOMET podcast, we sat down on the lively streets of Groningen, the Netherlands, to speak with Mark Deuze, Professor of Media Studies at the University of Amsterdam. He is the author of numerous academic papers and books, with recent work focusing on well-being in creative careers, including media work.
Our conversation explored key challenges in today’s digital media system, ways to bring stories to the right audiences, the importance of small local and community media, and the need to give people a voice. We also discussed the limitations and challenges of artificial intelligence (AI), the main factors contributing to a lack of well-being in the creative industries, the amplifying role of the digital landscape, and the importance of public and shared values when communicating online.
