Also in our weekly newsletter covering all things technology, media and telecom, previously self-centered Newsmax finally admits that it (and Fox News) are 'right-leaning pay TV' enterprises
In this episode of the Next TMT Podcast, hosts David Bloom and Daniel Frankel sit down with Robert Rose — veteran media producer, travel journalist, and creator of Raw Travel.
Robert shares his journey from syndicating niche content to creating one of the longest-running independent travel shows on U.S. television. He opens up about his filmmaking in Ukraine (My Summer in Ukraine), the battle against Russian disinformation, and why independent voices in media are more important than ever.
The conversation also dives into:
The challenges of transitioning from broadcast syndication to digital platforms
How streaming and gambling revenues are reshaping sports broadcasting
Why disinformation is Russia’s most powerful export
The state of media, politics, and American influence in Europe
