Lots of takeaways from #POn23 conf at BU like this from @AlizehKohari on writing about place: “make sure to give the place and people respect not just as things to be described but sources of ideas that matter in the global discourse and offer a different way of thinking perhaps”
& that’s a wrap on #PON23!
Huge thank to all the coordinators, speakers, supporters & attendees who made this year’s @narrativeBU conference great.
Picked up some new reads at #PON23 … and met the authors 🤓🙋🏻♀️📰📚📖
Amazing conference, highly recommend 💯
More #PON23 takeaways:
- Let sources know what to expect when you’re interviewing them —some of them do not know what we do
- We need journalists —ALL journalists— to champion the stories that matter. When those w/ more privilege do so, those stories are more likely to run
Some #PON23 takeaways:
- There are people who care about the same issues I do in the industry
- You really need to be engaged with the community to properly cover the community
- Invite those who don’t trust you or the work you do into the dialogue
On trust in news media, @brianstelter concludes: "It's a game of inches -- some days, we gain a little more, some days, we may lose a little."
And...
"People want to know what's true and real ... People flock to (news outlets) when it really matters."

“To honor the people whose stories you want to tell, you have to take care of yourself,” @kellymcevers reminds us @narrativeBU. And another powerful lesson for work & life from @JessicaDuLong “It doesn’t work if we think we can hard-nose or hard-drink our way through it.” #PON23
Take care of yourself, write as you talk, write notes to your sources, podcasts, and more tips from @itsjina @MeghanIrons @AmyDMarcus @kellymcevers @JessicaDuLong #PON23
On the emerging trend of AI journalism, @brianstelter says, robots cannot:
*Fact check a hard-to-find detail
*Track down family members
*Build trust with sources
'The robots can't be human -- AI cannot provide that human touch. The robots can't be storytellers.'

There is so much life after @cnn. @brianstelter says he has embraced the f word. Oh and he informed us about #narrativejournalism in the age of #AI. #PON23
“Generative AI is good at bullish—ting and bad at storytelling” @brianstelter says at #pon23 taking about the future of real journalism
Day 2 of #PON23 @narrativeBU & while I could only come in the second half of the day’s events (& we’re not finished yet!), I’ve learned so much & am so grateful for this education & these conversations that need to be more commonplace in the industry.
"Writing is an act of self-contempt. Kind of like racket sports."
Not sure what that means, but it feels true.

#writingcommunity
On the purpose of it, @geoffedgers says, 'Don't write profiles for people who like the person already, write the profile to explain the person for people who don't know the person.'
(paraphrased)
#PON23
On beginning to write a profile, @geoffedgers says, "...lower your standards -- just start writing ... You may end up with the start of your piece or a great scene..." but at least you'll have something.

Rev! chronology! self-debrief! tell the story, literally! Tons of great reporting and writing tips from @seywarddarby, EIC of The Atavist. #PON23
@seywarddarby says reporters should "debrief with themselves" immediately after each interview to explore impressions, surprises, feelings and points to follow up on.
#PON23
So great to be at @narrativeBU today. I was supposed to be here in 2020 but then…Covid.
Engaging speakers, great writing insights, and an inspiring headline keynote by @JenSeniorNY with @mitchellzuckoff.
Totally worth the 3-year wait! #pon23
