Google’s latest decisions, given its de facto monopoly position in many digital domains, are starting to have consequences. The situation, in general, in the world of journalism at major outlets, with a few exceptions, is one of depression and weariness after the arrival of AI Overviews, the growing prominence of AI Mode, changes in Google Discover and the latest Google update, which has once again reduced traffic for many outlets in Google Search.

Predictions and journalism trends for 2026 and how the CMS or DXP should contribute
A lot has happened since the launch of ChatGPT, a product that surprised insiders and outsiders on November 30, 2022 and changed the history of the internet forever.
