"The humans are much better at sense making and narrative and storytelling. The machines are much better at being systematic and complete and thorough. If you could combine the best of both systems in a hybrid way, you could get a result that would be far better than either human or pure machine versions."
"We're now too concerned about search engines and not enough about find engines. People don't tend to search for journalism. They are much more likely to find it."
"What I found, especially in the nonprofit sector, is that it is a true community. There is no idea of competition or conflicts of interest. There is an openness to support each other, especially when it comes to AI."
"If you have a chatbot and you put it strategically in the right places, your readers will tell you what they want. For the readers in your community that are very active and loyal, you're going to learn so much from having them talk to you that you can adjust your content strategy around that."
"Journalists need to become a beacon of trust – that role will become way more important than to write well."
"You don't have to do everything. You don't have to be everywhere. Sometimes less is more, because you keep that loyalty with your audience. They know what to expect."
