When it comes to navigating the evolving media landscape, few people are as insightful as lifestyle reporter Wendy Rose Gould. In a recent sit-down for OFD Collective members, Wendy and I talked shop on all things PR — including one particularly timely topic: the role of AI in journalism.

While our full-length interview is exclusive to OFD Collective members, I’m excited to share this short YouTube snippet with a few key takeaways.

In this clip, we cover:

  • Why AI won’t replace thoughtful sourcing or storytelling
