Elon Musk's Twitter town hall does little to assuage advertiser questions and concerns

Yesterday, Elon Musk made his most public appearance since buying Twitter two weeks ago. In a discussion about Twitter Spaces, he addressed advertiser concerns and explained his vision for the platform.

Additional coverage:

  • Publishers overwhelmingly agree that the current state of the economy will dampen ad sales through the end of this year and even into next year -- but that doesn't mean they'll offer steeper discounts on ad prices. More from Digiday+ Research.
  • This week's Media Briefing takes a look at how publishers' sales timelines are changing as later fourth quarter ad spending pulls focus from 2023 campaigns.
  • The venture capital market is slowing -- and while that might be a good thing for some investors, it'll likely be more difficult for media companies to raise capital.
  • With changes across the digital landscape, advertisers say they're feeling the pressure. More in this installment of Digiday's Confessions series.
  • YouTube launched a 10-day shopping event called "From YouTube to You," featuring top creators promoting holiday gifts and merch drops.
