The Ezra Klein Show is now a bona fide millennial onscreen hottie , staring straight into the camera and engaging a new kind of audience.

The New York Times hired a full-time director of photography—primarily for podcasts.

This phenomenon is playing out across the news media.

By 2028 , Mediaite (and likely others) will stream live election coverage directly to YouTube .

Success on YouTube requires a different playbook from traditional broadcast, says Mediaite founder Dan Abrams .

Abrams: "I think it’s the perfect storm. YouTube at the intersection of the two .”.

The life cycle has completed itself: Video killed the radio star became a podcaster, the podcaster launched a YouTube channel, and YouTube became television.

As Davis puts it: “I call it the show business now— two separate words. It’s about shows.”.
