The Media Show: Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover

Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover

BBC News - The Media Show, Elon Musk’s Twitter Takeover

What could Elon Musk’s $44bn deal to buy Twitter mean for the future of the platform?

Ros Atkins and guests discuss Elon Musk’s Twitter deal, the implosion of CNN+, and the launch of TalkTV.

Three major stories could change the way we get our news. The multi-million-dollar streaming service CNN+, once billed as the broadcaster’s future, has shut down after less than a month. Over in Silicon Valley, Elon Musk has signed a $44 billion deal to buy Twitter. And the UK has seen the launch of a new broadcast channel in Talk TV. These three models – streaming, social media, and broadcast – offer competing alternatives for how we’ll consume news-based content in the future, but which of them will win out? Presented by Ros Atkins.
