How is AI changing the way we consume news? New episode of the ECONtribute Wirtschaftspodcast

03.11.2026

How has social media changed the way we consume news? Why do we click on certain types of content? And how does AI influence our feeds?

Christopher Roth, Professor at LMU Munich, conducts research on media consumption in the digital age. We discuss why today’s consumers are more likely to follow content creators and influencers than news sites, what clicks reveal about our level of satisfaction, and why he believes the media market is underregulated.

This episode is about clicks, cash, and AI.
