The Rise of Alternative Media

with Alan Steinfeld and David Katzmire

When American Express became one of the 30 Dow Jones Industrial stocks, it was the first company that did not produce a product to do so. We knew the world was changing. Since then, we have shifted from: traditional magazines, like Time, Look and Life, to special interest niche publications; from terrestrial radio to podcasts; and from legacy media, like ABC, CBS and NBC broadcasts to YouTube, TikTok and social media. The change in the last 30 years has been profound and it is defining our future. David reflects on alternative trends and invites you to share your thoughts. He is a technology consultant for CL&L. Alan Steinfeld is the producer/host of the YouTube channel program New Realities and author of the award-winning book, Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence.
