The Future of Business Journalism explores how the field evolved into this divide and offers solutions on how business journalism can once again provide the stories and content that a broad society needs.

Was aber geschieht, wenn wir uns von einer Sprachmaschine die Welt erklären, Werte vermitteln und das Denken abnehmen lassen? Gewöhnen uns ChatGPT und Co. das Lesen, Schreiben und Denken ab?
