2026 THEME New worlds, new powers
How media is reinventing itself in the face of political and technological disruptions. The rise of illiberalism in democracies and the acceleration of AI development have shaken traditional media whose models are already heavily challenged by digital transformation, platforms and social networks. Faced with these major transformations, their role is changing and they must now demonstrate their ability to support societal transformations. They are thus trying to constantly adapt to new uses, continue their role of information and highlighting social issues and maintain public trust.
For this 8th edition on January 15, 2026, Médias en Seine will thus address the different aspects of this new influence, notably addressing the editorial and economic transformation of media to attract and retain audiences, the emergence of new information and entertainment talents and innovative narratives, the role and place of investigation, the possibilities to put AI at the service of journalism and the fight against manipulation.
