“There is no denying that this moment in our profession is in fact chaotic. I’m concerned like most of you about whether a bean counter will replace 5 newsroom colleagues with 1 who manages a series of bots … But I’m someone who firmly believes out of chaos comes opportunity.” #OJA25
"We are human and we have the capacity as journalists to be more than just observers in times of crisis ... We’ve been challenged to bring our humanity forward in the field and I hope to never lose that sense of responsibility to those we’re reporting on." – Hari Sreenivasan #OJA25
