Disney’s Bob Iger has won his boardroom proxy battle against Nelson Peltz. Media mogul and IAC Chairman Barry Diller weighs in on the evolution of entertainment, including the path forward for Disney, for Paramount Global, and for streamers competing with Netflix. As founder of Fox Broadcasting and former CEO of Paramount, Diller shares his perspective on TikTok, AI, and a four-day workweek. Plus, Snapchat is testing a new feature for subscribed users: rankings in friend orbits. The Wall Street Journal suggests that Snapchat’s newest innovation could make social media’s toll on teen mental health even worse.
