This week, I was joined by Omri Hurwitz, regarded by many as a media maven in marketing, tech, PR, and more.

If you’re active in the Israeli tech ecosystem, you have certainly come across his content over various social media channels where he meets with prominent players in the sector while offering his analysis of news events.

Omri and I have shared a few conversations in the past about New Media. Over the years we have discussed Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter and its consequences, Fake News, and the general media landscape as it continues to evolve.

Every time we speak there is something new to discuss.

This time, our focus was on the unstoppable train of AI and how it has been impacting our information and news cycles.

Together we discussed:

* The future of media

* AI algorithms in news

* Community Notes and its power to fight fake news

* The impact of China’s DeepSeek

* The need to remove media ecosystems

Please feel free to watch or listen here wherever you get your podcasts. Unlike previous episodes, video is not essential for this conversation.
