From television to digital age, Milano Cortina sees media transformation

Bell Media’s digital restructuring in Canada led to layoffs of 20 union members, including 11 journalists, as part of ongoing cost-cutting efforts, union officials said.

  • On Feb. 4, 2026, the International Olympic Committee's eased social-media rules sparked a new golden age for athlete influencers ahead of the Milano Cortina Games, Milan reported.
  • The IOC relaxed rules by allowing athletes to post audio and video from the Olympic village, competition venues and training areas but still bans competition footage, live video and posts over two minutes.
  • Data from 'Team USA Creators' programme shows 20 creators generated roughly 100 million views, with athletes like Frederick Richard gaining over 40 million likes on TikTok.
  • Sport organisations adapting to fragmented audiences like the USOPC must reach fans across many channels, while collaborators and creators assist athletes navigating complex social-media rules.
  • Seven decades after Cortina d'Ampezzo's 1956 broadcast milestone, industry voices say new rules now let athletes tell their story in their own words, transforming Olympic narratives.
