You mentioned that you're excited about the future of news media and technology, I am too! What do you imagine as the next big tech innovation in relation to media (or what would you like to see)?
On another note, how do you feel about the growing popularity of crowd sourced news via things like Twitter or Instagram?
I am a developer at The Washington Post and I help build newsroom facing tools. I also am the Chair of the DC chapter of ACM and produce a podcast called DC Tech Stories.
next big innovation hmm... since I am focused on newsroom tools I actually thing there are a lot of opportunities there to use tech to help journalists create SUPER engaging pieces - things like our context project(washingtonpost.com/pr/wp/2017/09/1...) allow journalists to provide context to people who are new to a particular topic to understand more fully the news and those who already know this topic to ignore it - that can help a lot with big complex issues with LOTS of players and inputs.
I like the fact that news is crowdsourced in that it gives journalists access to MANY more sources and inputs but I worry about people forgetting the importance of WELL RESEARCHED articles by journalists who take bias, and ethics very seriously. Its a good input but not a replacement by ANY means for well done jouranlism
