Digitalization is also changing the newspaper industry – we need less and less time to consume media thanks to new technologies that make everything easier and more convenient. We concentrate less and less and switch back and forth on our smartphone in seconds because the change promises a brief moment of satisfaction. It’s good that our lives have become easier in many areas through digitalization, but on the one hand we as humans need commitment and on the other hand, when it comes to difficult topics, we expect transparency, careful research, and even a finger on the wound, so that we can find our way in the jungle of fake news, be able to distinguish facts from fake and be able to classify content. Shape the media industry of the future To find solutions for these and many other burning future issues in the media industry, the “Krone” is organizing the hackathon “The Crown – Your ideas for the “Crown of Tomorrow” together with the THI Techhouse from December 11th to 13th.
