Скачать или смотреть A new model for local news on streaming platforms

Can streaming platforms like Netflix or Amazon fix local news?

In this episode, Todd Landfried, Co-Founder and CEO of N2 Media Holdings, explains his bold plan to rebuild local journalism for the streaming era.

With more than 50 million Americans living in news deserts and 160+ million in areas with limited local coverage, traditional TV news models are struggling. Todd believes the answer isn’t saving legacy broadcasting, it’s reimagining local news as streaming content.

We discuss:

• Why local news infrastructure (studios, towers, helicopters) is outdated
• How geotargeted streaming news could work by ZIP code
• Why platforms like Netflix spend $20B+ annually on content
• How “The Local” model produces statewide, regional, and hyperlocal stories
• Funding journalism without relying on traditional advertising
• What news deserts mean for communities
• Why eliminating 30 minute time blocks improves reporting quality
• The future of trusted local journalism

Todd also shares lessons from their Colorado pilot program and what it would take to scale this model to all 50 states.
