Journalism was not adapting or adopting tech, and when it did install new models they were so unethical, it went against what we wanted to create. (The new models were almost as bad as hacking to get information. Almost. More on being a Robin Hood of information later). Advertiser-driven editorial (especially in fashion spreads) seems desperate, but eyeballs and other body parts motivate sales.

In SF, I always regretted not sticking around to help transform the field of journalism (but now may have a chance with Nostr)? Ironically, in SF my work was with eComm, writing website copy, SEO and learning easy web dev.

During college I wrote many literary journalism pieces and was training in long form NYer-style reporting. Even though people read on their phones all day long, today formats have changed. During grad school for Information Science, my journalism turned into video book reviews and interviewing authors on video livestreams. I continued to learn to code (and IS is a very technical field). We’ve created a data-driven AI vertical to provide better recommendations. AI for good. Back to journalism. Citizen Journalism.

More soon.
