Dan Abrams, CEO of Abrams Research and Chief Legal Analyst for MSNBC and NBC, discusses the changing media landscape. Recorded at the Bulldog Media Relations summit.

Some of Dan’s VlogViews:

“In terms of the media becoming more corporate, that’s a trend that has been happening for 15 years, if not more. I think a lot of those media entities are now forcing media professionals to figure out how to have their hand in different areas.”

“Transparency is always significant in media. But I don’t think that’s the panacea. I think that the truth is there are not that many close calls with regard to conflict that people want to create, but conflicts make for good media stories.”

“Accept that you don’t know a lot. I think it’s so important to say, ‘look there is a changing media landscape out there and it’s changing every month’ and you have to accept that fact that you don’t know everything and once you accept that and you say, ‘you know what? I need to keep learning. I need to keep accessing the people that do know this’, you’ve taken a giant step forward.”
