David Zaslav's Shaky Hollywood Empire
Briefly

David Zaslav, the 65-year-old CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, participates in a regular Zoom call with prominent, aged media figures like Howard Stringer and Tom Freston. Meeting Fridays at 10 a.m., they share camaraderie and discuss their collective experiences, health, and the changing media landscape. Despite Zaslav's leadership role, the group reflects a sense of nostalgia for their era of media power, marking a transition from the age of industry moguls to a newer generation. Zaslav is noted as the 'last member of this generation' to active control in media, highlighting a significant shift.
At 65, Zaslav is the youngest member of a regular Zoom call with retired media moguls, discussing the evolution of the industry and personal health concerns.
This weekly call serves as a social gathering for its aging members, reflecting on their shared experiences in the media before the rise of newer digital platforms.
