Top European media thought-leaders on LinkedIn
by thefixteam
LinkedIn’s more publisher-friendly algorithms offer a chance for media to get their content to new audiences (better than, let’s say, Facebook, which is actively deprioritizing politics and news). But the platform offers more than just distribution – it’s a great place to get new ideas or insights.
If you are working in the European media space and actively using LinkedIn, you should check out some media thought leaders who are active on the social media platform. The Fix came up with a list of 10 media opinion leaders working in the European media landscape.
