The Inquirer's digital pivot: Can legacy media survive the shift?

Veteran journalist Roby Alampay sits down with Daxim Lucas, former senior reporter at the Philippine Daily Inquirer and now founder of InsiderPH, to unpack the Inquirer’s historic decision to merge its print and digital operations.

Dax shares insider insights on newsroom resistance, leadership struggles, and the economic realities of journalism in a post-print world. More than just a story about the Inquirer, this is a cautionary tale, and perhaps a roadmap, for every media company facing disruption.

• Why did the transformation come so late?
• Can digital-first newsrooms still thrive?
• What lessons can startups and legacy institutions learn from this pivot?

Listen in as Roby and Dax explore the future of journalism, the fate of legacy media, and why the next 20 feet may be all we can see in today’s foggy information landscape.
