Ten predictions for the 2021 media and entertainment industry

Carmen Arroyo Nieto and Josep Valor December 27, 2020

As we near the close of 2020, we wonder what the new year might bring to the entertainment and media industry. During these complicated 12 months, we have seen an apparent acceleration of the trends that had been in the works since the early 2010s.

Parler, an online home for conservatives

Carmen Arroyo Nieto and Josep Valor December 10, 2020

It’s a common catchphrase among the right that the left has captured social media. They argue that the platforms are only banning or tagging content from specific right-wing figures such as President Donald Trump, while not taking issue with leftist commentators.
