The Social Shift: Content Creators, New Voices, and the Future of News

Social media has reshaped how Americans consume news. As content creators—often called “influencers”—rise as primary sources of information, they are overtaking traditional journalists for younger audiences. This shifting landscape brings critical questions: What does this mean for journalism? What does this mean for new consumers? How can we navigate news literacy in a digital world? And what role do these voices play in shaping the media ecosystem? Join High Country News, the Journalism and Public Interest Communication program at the University of Washington, and content creators Birdie Sam (@showme_YourMask), Kelsey Russell (@Kelscruss), and Teal Lehto (@WesternWaterGirl). Together, we’ll explore how their work brings new voices and perspectives to journalism, their evolving relationships with traditional media, and what drives their passion for the work they do. UW Teaching Professor Andrea Otáñez will facilitate the conversation. February 5, 2025, 5-7pm University of Washington Walker Ames Room, Kane Hall Livestream will be available: stay tuned to HCN.org UWComm social media for details Snacks will be served Free to attend RSVPs are encouraged
