Are Investment Cycles Too Reactive?

Central Stage
December 8, 2025 2:30 - 3:00PM

As the media and information ecosystem evolves, funding patterns still swing sharply in response to elections, crises, and short-term shocks. Media often see capital surges around major events, followed by contractions once attention moves on. These cycles mirror the broader volatility of venture investment, where long-horizon innovation can be constrained by short-term sentiment. This session explores how public, private, philanthropic, and venture capital stakeholders can stabilize investment flows, build resilient institutions, and support long-term innovation across the media landscape instead of reacting only when disruption is already at the door.
