Summary/Abstract: The economic architecture of contemporary journalism is undergoing a radical transformation under the pressure of global tech giants. Using the toolkit of dispositive analysis, this study deconstructs the mechanisms by which the algorithmic determinism of platforms like Meta and TikTok reshapes classical revenue streams. In the context of modern digital society, where attention is the primary currency, social networks function as new regulatory dispositifs, controlling not only the distribution but also the very market value of the journalistic product.
