At last week's Publishing Insider Summit, legacy media executives engaged an interesting question: who are they really competing with, now? Is US Weekly competing with People anymore, or is it
really
vying with Google and Facebook? American Media's Brian Kroski argued the latter. Smithsonian's CDO Bill Allman and Reuter's VP John Toth drilled into their perceived competition as well as
the ways in
which they distinguish their audience's state of mind from the big platforms.
