A 400‑year‑old media house becoming an AI company—without illusions.   In our latest #tomorrowtoday episode, I spoke with Christoph Bauer, CEO of DuMont, about what it really takes to grow in a platform‑dominated digital economy.   Key points: - Analog models aren’t “transforming”—they’re being disrupted. The rules are now digital and global. - DuMont chose diversification over repair: data, technology, and regional media—built for resilience. - AI is applied pragmatically: better products, automated processes; the core remains people (“80% of a successful AI company is about people - not technology”). - Independent journalism can only survive if it’s profitable - because financial stability is what protects editorial freedom and quality. 🎧 Listen to the full episode: Spotify: https://lnkd.in/dyrFRWMe Apple Podcasts: https://lnkd.in/ddErx-ud YouTube: https://lnkd.in/drturW-s   Dr. Bauer shared: “80 percent of a successful AI company is about people – not technology.” Thank you, Christoph Bauer, for your openness and inspiration. #AI #Media #DigitalTransformation #DuMont #tomorrowtoday
