By Joon Lee “Creators are also running into the ceiling that legacy media once hit. When you scale to cultural force levels, you need to become more serious.” For the past decade, YouTube creators have spent their time trying to look less like journalists and more like entertainers. But the next phase of YouTube’s evolution is going to flip that dynamic: journalism is about to become the backbone of the platform’s growth, prestige, and cultural relevance. The 2024 election made this shift impossible to ignore. YouTube — and the broader creator world — got hammered with criticism for the way…

Europe’s political leadership is walking a tightrope between strategic ambition and strategic collapse. U.S. President Donald Trump’s new National Security Strategy warns that Europe is “teetering on the brink of irrelevance — or worse, annihilation” without a negotiated settlement in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin accuses European leaders of sabotaging early peace efforts and turning Ukraine into a proxy battlefield to pursue the illusion of “strategic defeat” against Russia. Putin has warned that if “Europe all of a sudden chooses war, the response will be so rapid that there might be a situation where we have no one to negotiate with.”…

Although AI use is now widespread among U.K. journalists, they still see it as much more of a threat than an opportunity. By Neil Thurman, Sina Thasler-Kordonouri and Richard Fletcher Although a few larger surveys of how journalists use artificial intelligence have taken place, some mostly surveyed early adopters and others didn’t distinguish between current use and planned future use. So we decided to survey a representative sample of journalists — in the U.K. We asked about their and their newsrooms’ actual use of AI and how they perceived and approached it. The results were published in our recent report by the Reuters Institute for the…

By Jennifer Johnson LONDON, Dec 2 (Reuters Breakingviews) – The BBC is going through one of its periodic crises. The iconic UK broadcasting institution is at the centre of a firestorm over its impartiality, due in part to a spat over the misleading edit of a Donald Trump speech that has prompted its director-general to resign and the U.S. president to threaten a $1 billion lawsuit. But the current rumpus is merely one data point in a much wider discussion of how “the Beeb” funds its 6 billion pounds of annual costs. The real headache is that all the feasible…

Why a decade of militarisation risks weakening Europe from the inside out  As European leaders amplify the narrative of a growing “Russian threat” to justify accelerating defence spending and security integration, critics warn that the continent risks overlooking deeper internal crises: democratic erosion, social fragmentation, economic inequality, and migration challenges. Over the next decade, Europe could follow two divergent paths — a militarized, externally focused model or a rebalanced approach grounded in democratic resilience and social cohesion. The stakes are high: Europe may become stronger in arms yet weaker in unity, risking a continent fortified against adversaries but fraying from…

In early October 2025, Netflix became the focal point of a social-media driven storm after Elon Musk publicly announced he had cancelled his subscription and urged his more than 200 million followers to do the same — referencing content on the streaming service that he labeled problematic. The trigger for the backlash was a children’s animated series on Netflix that included a transgender character. Critics accused the platform of promoting what they termed a “woke agenda,” and Musk’s call for cancellation turned the controversy into a de-facto boycott campaign. Netflix shares continued to slide this week, extending losses that…
