Journalism needs people from diverse backgrounds – Jaemark Tordecilla, computer programmer-turned-journalist
Description
Jaemark and Howie have been having conversations about the future of media for almost 20 years. After nine years as editor-in-chief of GMA News Online where he succeeded Howie, Jaemark is off to Harvard to study… the future of media. In particular, how to regain public trust. Technology has created countless echo chambers where people just hear what they agree with, while avoiding alternative points of view through the mass media. A Philippine Science High School grad who majored in computer science in UP, Jaemark believes his tech background has been an advantage in journalism.
With digital media and AI evolving at breakneck speeds, what awaits young aspiring journalists? Jaemark gives his take, as well as some sound advice.
