    Episode 22: Measuring Meaning in an AI-Driven Media Landscape
    Jan 12 2026
    Media measurement is no longer about counting mentions - it’s about measuring meaning. In Episode 22, Anna O’Connor (Newton Media) and Omar Signori (InfoJuice) talk with Damien Kopp (RebootUp), a standout voice from FIBEP WMIC 2025, about how meaning gets lost, distorted, and sometimes weaponised as information moves through today’s platforms. They unpack why counting mentions no longer explains impact, how narratives emerge and spread beyond institutional media, and why trust now travels through people and communities, not headlines. A thought-provoking conversation on narratives, perception, and the human role in making sense of AI-driven media.
