“Bring it on AI. We will meet you with human intelligence.” Brian Stelter says Power of Narrative, explaining that a bot can do a lot, but can’t give us “a well-crafted, well-told story with scenes, color and life.” Love it.

“To honor the people whose stories you want to tell, you have to take care of yourself,” Kelly McEvers reminds us Power of Narrative. And another powerful lesson for work & life from Jessica DuLong “It doesn’t work if we think we can hard-nose or hard-drink our way through it.” #PON23

Mitchell Zuckoff wraps up the Power of Narrative conference. Thanks to sarah for letting me attend! #PON23

Our presenters’ books are available to purchase at the reception for #PON23

👋 great fun to see some CNN alums today at the Power of Narrative conference

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

Picked up some new reads at #PON23 … and met the authors 🤓🙋🏻‍♀️📰📚📖 Amazing conference, highly recommend 💯

& that’s a wrap on #PON23! Huge thank to all the coordinators, speakers, supporters & attendees who made this year’s Power of Narrative conference great.

Lots of takeaways from #POn23 conf at BU like this from Alizeh Kohari 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”

Just wrapped up a fruitful weekend at the Power of Narrative conference! I’m more inspired than ever for my future (and my peers’ future) in this paramount field of work. I also had the privilege to pitch a story to editors in a live pitch panel!

This weekend, I helped run the Power of Narrative conference. It was my 10th year doing so and this event is always one of my favorites. Not only did I get to meet and hear from amazing speakers and attendees, but I also managed to hang out with 3 Newmark J+ program participants! 👇

Hearing Jennifer Senior in conversation with Mitchell Zuckoff at Power of Narrative conference this weekend was the shot of inspiration I needed. Highly recommend the conference to all writers!

We are busy uploading and editing the recordings of conference sessions and hope to make them available soon! Recordings will be sent out for free to speakers and conference attendees and will be available for purchase for anyone else interested in owning them.

Facebook reminded me that 7 years ago today, I got to hang out with one of my favorite science writers, Mary Roach at Power of Narrative
