Journalism today demands more than strong reporting skills—it requires strategic thinking about how stories are discovered and move through the world. Drawing on a career spent at the intersection of journalism and technology, the talk traces the industry’s shift from print to digital, from web to social, and into audio, video, and now AI—highlighting how each transition reshaped not just storytelling, but distribution, audience behavior, and trust. The session shares practical ways to think about learning, growth, and adaptability as communication continues to evolve.
