The Future of This Channel

AI Disclosure: Occasionally, we use AI to create some of the imagery in our videos, which our (very talented) animators then spend weeks developing into what you see in the final video. When AI is used to generate any imagery that may appear onscreen, we'll add this to the video description. We're learning as we go about AI usage and transparency, and appreciate your thoughts.

Damn vox is the paypal of youtube's journalists

[CleoAbram]

I'm so excited for you, Iz, Sam, Christophe, and the whole growing team. You are all incredible and the future of journalism is so good.

[Homer-OJ-Simpson]

Petition to have one of the future channels be a weekly news channel that isn’t focused on one topic but important news from around the world in that week? And maybe an occasional video on the channel doing a deep dive on a global news topic.

This kind of journalism but on weekly news format is much needed!

[thisisme]

My only concern.. and this is very real.. don't let the importance of constantly pushing out new videos to stay employed cause the product to diminish. This has happened to too many channels.

[ebriant]

Great idea bro, Grateful to have you 😊🎉

[Viewer-zsxj]

Tunnel vision is actually a really fitting name! Zooming in / focusing on one thing then explaining it!

[Skibidi_Negro]

"I just launched something really big." 🌚

4:00 "New Press" sounds cool, but tbh it also reminds me of "New Speak", the language that they speak in George Orwell's very very famous book 1984 😅

[Viewer-zsxj]

Looks like Vox’s commission isn’t high enough for the great work you guys do!!!

WE NEED A IN DEPTH SERIES ON THE USS LIBERTY INCIDENT

I've been here since the beginning and I've loved seeing your channel grow and flourish. Can't wait to see what comes next.

[SteelyBlue]

Awesome. Lol, killed me with the MickyD's ice cream machine. Enquiring minds do wanna know. js ✌️
edit-PS: thank yall for the survey.

This is certainly a very pivotal moment of the channel(s). I must say though, it's also a very crucial moment to choose your next steps very carefully.

I think that the downfall of legacy media is when they grew too big, they involved too many people and stakeholders to the point that it's almost impossible to "stay objective".

What's also concerning is when everyone is under the same umbrella, then that umbrella could have taken control of the narrative. "Independent media" holds a lot of value nowadays exactly because they are independent. Alone, to some degree.

When they grow too big involving way too many people, it's hard to consider them independent. The sense of relatable might diminish sharply.

I hope it doesn't come to that.

Excited about the new channel.

I would love to see more tech focused content.

My favorite video y’all have made was about the fiber optic cables found in our oceans and its impact on global network security.

Often times concepts like telecommunications can feel like magic. Y’all’s approach to visual storytelling can help demystify concepts like subnetting, routing and switching.

[griffinballfish]

as an Australian i would love it if you could cover the under-16 social media ban and possibly even the two-party system.

[DonOmarRamiro]

4:11 . Yes, i just put down 2 dollars to say this: IM HERE FOR THE COMIC SANS FONT.

Hey Johnny, I’m excited to see what you and Christophe make. I have a suggestion to help your videos reach more people. There’s a lot of high-quality journalistic content I want to share with my non-English-speaking mom. It’d be great if your videos had subtitles in languages like Spanish or were dubbed. I want to share a lot of content, but it’s hard to condense it into a small summary I can translate. There’s a lot of misinformation in other languages flowing around the internet, and there’s not an equal amount of high quality reliable content to help combat or clarify that misinformation, because it’s all in English typically

[Amy-ohqb]

More creators to potentially collab with: MegaLag, JimmytheGiant and Friendlyjordies - all brilliant and engaging journalists!

[jeffersonricardo]

It was exciting to see you grow with Vox borders, and then here on this channel. Crazy how you guys have teamed up to make all of this on YouTube!
