To what extent should technology dictate your newsroom strategy?
That question was a big theme at our last Newsrewired conference in November 2024, where we heard talks on how technology was changing the playing field in search, social, cookies and of course, the hot topic, generative AI.
Naturally, newsrooms must adapt to the changes. But does this mean we lose sight of our audiences? Is there a best of both worlds where the tech can help us serve our newsroom's mission and purpose?
In this week's podcast, we catch up with keynote speaker Sean Gourley, an AI whiz with a background in starting and selling tech companies, and a current tech startup investor.
It is a wake-up call that newsrooms are increasingly out of their depth as the pace of this technology is evolving at an unprecedented speed. But not all is doom and gloom, there is a hopeful world where technology can be used for good.
