As the media business has evolved from daily broadsheets to today's 24/7 always-on content cycle, the structure, function, and distribution models of the traditional media company have changed dramatically. With social media as the primary source of information for next-gen consumers, the approach needs to be multi-pronged and content-focused. Many legacy media businesses have risen to the challenge with video reporting and branded content. But the next evolution is coming in the form of social-first publications and in-house talent pools.
