About

I am the editorial director for the media industry trade association Digital Content Next (DCN) so I spend a fair amount of time thinking about digital media. I write and speak about media industry topics, ethical tech, and the future of work. I am researching the impact of AI on critical thinking with funding from the Center for Advanced Internet Studies (CAIS). #journalism #media #fedi22
