00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920
I think I was scared straight when I went to grad school because like our first day
2
00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:08.160
in with the orientation, they were like, 10 of you are going to work in magazines.
3
00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.880
You know, most of you are going to have to do something else.
4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.440
This whole industry isn't a blender right now.
5
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:15.280
Like newspapers are dying.
6
00:00:15.280 --> 00:00:17.600
Like, you're, you're screwed.
7
00:00:17.600 --> 00:00:20.960
And I took that as, I got to be one of those 10 people.
8
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:26.720
Being in New York, it gives you that like, you know, grime.
9
00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:29.280
That Donnie Dog, like, what do you got to do?
10
00:00:29.840 --> 00:00:34.000
After music editor came the podcast, I did that for two years.
11
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.160
You know, it was top of 2023 and the podcast ended.
12
00:00:38.800 --> 00:00:42.640
And they were like, but we don't want you to go anywhere, Janine.
13
00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:47.280
And I think one of the, the smartest things I did when I signed on for that pivot,
14
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.920
the podcast was to say, okay, I still want to have a foot in, you know,
15
00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.520
what has made people people, which is our print product.
16
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:56.080
That's great.
17
00:00:56.080 --> 00:00:59.360
And our digital juggernaut, which is people.com.
18
00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:02.800
This space that we're in right now with AI and all of that, like,
19
00:01:02.800 --> 00:01:04.640
we're still about people.
20
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:08.880
And that doesn't mean we're not embracing AI and figuring out how to make it work for us
21
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:10.000
and incorporating it.
22
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:15.360
But, um, you know, that being interviewing AI is what I'm right.
23
00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:16.560
I'm not a girl.
24
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:17.520
I don't even know girl.
25
00:01:17.600 --> 00:01:19.120
I have to say never.
26
00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.760
After in a month or two, I don't know how fast this is going.
27
00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:25.280
It is a difficult industry.
28
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.240
It was back then.
29
00:01:26.240 --> 00:01:30.560
It was back, difficult before I even started, you know, to break into.
30
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.160
We are in a space that has really democratized everything.
31
00:01:34.160 --> 00:01:37.200
When it comes to your ability to publish, your ability to write,
32
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.920
your ability to just get your voice out there like never before.
33
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:48.400
So, yes, these, you know, more structured, you know, corporate spaces.
34
00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:51.360
The door is like getting more narrow and narrow and narrow.
35
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:54.160
But the opportunity for you to get your voice out there.
36
00:01:54.160 --> 00:01:58.240
And for you to get clips really in journalism is wide open.
1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.920
