Utopian or dystopian? When it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning, how journalists view the technology, and how willing they are to delve into the many layers it can empower, is the secret sauce in creating a better workplace.
Five journalists visited with more than 1,000 students March 18-19 as part of the Reynolds Journalism Institute's Innovation Series.

Art Cullen is the editor of the Storm Lake Times, a 3,000-circulation newspaper in Iowa. In 2017, he won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing disguised as investigative reporting — an exposé on corporate agriculture and river pollution.

"In fact, circulation declined in the three months surrounding the Pulitzer."

Sometimes the long-distance gardener looks out the window and notices that the maple tree he planted as a six-foot sapling 21 years ago has become a shade tree 25 feet tall and 20 across.
