Inside The Economist’s plan to grow revenues in a post-search, AI-driven future

《經濟學人》在後搜尋時代、人工智慧驅動的未來如何增加收入

Unlike many publishers securing AI licensing deals, The Economist is going against the grain – keeping its journalism off-limits and actively blocking AI bots from scraping its content, via its CDN vendor Cloudflare. “We’re building our business for an environment where we don’t expect to get any traffic back from those AI platforms. Fundamentally, their business models and their strategies are aligned to being end-user destinations in their own right and not providing those click-throughs,” said Bradley-Jones.

Generative AI and news report 2025: How people think about AI’s role in journalism and society

Use of generative AI skews younger.

Investigative Journalism in Asia: Resistance, Transformation, and Solidarity Amidst Mounting Press Challenges

亞洲的調查報導：在日益嚴峻的新聞挑戰中展現抵抗、轉型與團結

Taiwan, by contrast, has far greater press freedom than mainland China or Hong Kong and enjoys the highest overall rating for the continent, ranked 24th worldwide by RSF. Nevertheless, it still faces the spread of disinformation and impact of news avoidance, says Sherry Lee, COO and former editor-in-chief of GIJN member The Reporter. “The challenge is different yet equally profound,” Lee says. “The infiltration of disinformation and the pervasive influence of China. These forces have led many people to avoid news, and to approach information and journalism with deep skepticism — sometimes even with a sense of nihilism.”
