The internet created a lot of new mediums. Blogs, vlogs, tl;dr culture, explainer videos, Twitter, podcasts, clickbait, ELI5, etc. It seems like we never saw new mediums emerge for academia. Probably because the same institutions are consuming and generating the content?
I don’t think of it like that. Journals build brands, and academics who contribute to the journals convert those brands into reputation for themselves, and thus into jobs. So the journals are competing on brand (mostly impact factor and similar), not the quality of the medium.
To pick a slightly self-interested example: most ML researchers would (currently) rather have a NIPS paper than a distill paper, even though the latter is a much more interesting medium. Why? The former has a better chance (at present) of getting you a job
