It's the place where we'll get our asses kicked. It's also the place where we're least likely to produce something that the TikTokers are going to point to and green screen and plagiarize and send all over the internet. I don't want to overstate the case and say that there's been no technological improvements that can make journalism better.

But AI is not going to come in and make it more efficient to knock on the mayor's door. The biggest disruptions of the tech have been how we distribute our stuff, and also it's kind of lowered the bar for what we can produce out there that people will kind of accept.

Well, I think it would come from the advertising dollars that we lost because, I mean... I would love for nothing on the internet to have a paywall. Like if we are in the sort of post-scarcity paradise where we don't have to worry about paying stuff, we can only just be like happy consumers and like, I want a paywall.

And honestly, I would be kind of fine with like Pop Crave, like distributing an important investigation, because that means that more people are learning about something happening in their community. It's as a commercial problem, it's unfixable. I mean, because I don't really want to be in the business of hassling other people who are talking about the thing that I did. I want that.

I want TV stations to talk about the investigation that we did. I want radio stations to talk about the investigation we did. That version of that ecosystem has been around since the founding.

The single most cooperative enterprise in media is the Associated Press, which, you know, just makes sure that all the newspapers do one story instead of 20.
