News Insiders Share Their Resolutions and Reasons for Optimism in 2025: ‘Always New Stories to Be Told’

Now, I admit that a lot of that news can be depressing, but the beauty of a morning show is we have the time to add context to the hard stories while also showing people the pockets of joy and hope that exist all around them every day. We can make you smarter and we can leave you with hope.  We pledge to do both.

Dan Colarusso, senior vice of president of business for CNBC

1. I’m optimistic for the media industry in 2025 because I think it has come to grips with the economic realities and the behavior of audiences and will embark on projects and products that truly empower audiences.

2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is, quite simply, to report on the fulfillment, or lack thereof, of the promises made by CEOs and politicians. Rhetoric and passions will be running hot, but there’s a big gap between those factors and how people, investors, and employees need to adapt. That’s where we plan to be, with force.

Jay Wallace, president and executive editor of Fox News Media

1. There will always be new stories to be told and no shortage of journalists who want to tell them—no matter the new challenges of technology or consolidation.   

2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is to be in more places, covering more hours, and on more platforms than ever before.

Matt King, vice president of news for NewsNation

1. The 2024 election made it crystal clear: America wants something different. At NewsNation, we often talk about the public’s desire for a ‘disruption of norms.’ Viewers are tired of legacy. We see this hunger for change as an opportunity to grow. The mission should be to give a voice to the issues that really matter to Americans without bias. Authentic, unfiltered reporting told through a transparent lens. These are the facts as we know them, this is how and where we are getting our information, and here are some voices that can provide perspective so you can decide for yourself. What makes us optimistic about the state of journalism? The fact that Americans will always seek out information. That will never go away. We look forward to being a source for these viewers.

2. Our resolution to viewers in 2025 is to provide a transparent and fair voice to the stories that really matter to Americans.
