Summary

As a part of this year's On Air Fest event, Don Lemon leads a no-nonsense conversation on the shifting media landscape and the rise of independent media, examining how creators and journalists are dismantling old power structures, rebuilding trust, and reshaping what news looks like in a creator-driven world. The media is transforming at a pace we’ve never seen before. From how we consume entertainment and sports to culture-defining moments like the Oscars moving online, the ground is shifting beneath our feet. Nowhere is that disruption more apparent, or more consequential, than in the news. As audiences walk away from legacy outlets and turn to independent voices for truth and accountability, the future of journalism is being actively redefined. Don is joined by journalist and sportswriter Pablo Torre, comedian Gianmarco Soresi, & friend of the show and comedian Jay Jurden. This episode is sponsored by 120Life.

0:19.0	Hi, everyone. How are you?

0:50.2	I did the beginning of my show on Monday live in the snow around the neighborhood. And everybody was so nice. I was like, wait, where am I? Am I like in Iowa? What's going on? And then the next day after it has settled, everyone's like, no, I don't want to talk to you. I went out to do man on the streets. No, get away from me. So it flipped overnight. So we had a little blanket of niceness for a little bit.

I get people walking up to me in airports and mainly women, a lot of black women, but women of all ethnicities. And you know what they say to me? They say, do you mind? I know this is weird, but do you mind if I give you a hug?
1:48.4	And I say, okay.
1:50.8	Because I think it's personal.
