Etim discusses his background in the newsroom through his work as a journalist, a product manager, and an R&D specialist to put together groundbreaking interactive news experiences. The two also discuss best practices to approach AI in the newsroom, and how to adopt the new technology despite initial discomfort to bring stories to the next level.
