Media Industry News

Welcome to the News section of Jonathan Glazier Media — your insider guide to the stories shaping the future of the media industry.

Whether you’re a freelancer navigating uncertainty, a commissioner tracking trends, or a producer trying to plan ahead, this is where we cut through the noise. Our focus is sharp: the freelance crisis, the rise of AI in media production, and the shifting role of government policy in shaping our creative economy.

This isn’t just curated news — it’s context from someone inside the system. I’ve worked across broadcast, streaming, and digital formats, and I’ve seen how changes in legislation, budgets, and technology ripple across jobs, schedules, and the content we make. What you’ll find here are key developments in:

  • Freelance employment trends
  • Commissioning slowdowns and recoveries
  • AI breakthroughs in content creation
  • Government actions (or inaction) affecting tax, rights, and working protections

From House of Commons reports on High-End TV to global shifts in AI regulation, we follow the decisions that will impact your livelihood, your workflow, and your future.

This section isn’t designed to scare — it’s here to prepare.

Too much of the media conversation lives in silos or headlines with no context. Here, you’ll get plain English analysis, key links, and practical takeaways — fast.
