SpeakerText Transcript of the Track:

Okay, so I am here with Xavier, how you doing?

Great.

I just saw your presentation, it was great.

Thank you.

It was a really good use cases and examples, and Steve Jobs' examples. It's really good that you could put it together and, you know, it's cool. So, but, how are you feeling, what's been going on? Tell me about your role in News Rewired.

My role in here? I mean, I came to give this presentation about storytelling.

Yep. And how I believe that now we are in this new age of social media, where we have over 800 million people who actually are reporters.

Yeah.

Social media has turned every one of us into a reporter, but not everyone is a journalist or a blogger.

Yeah. So we need those people more than ever, to actually make sense of what all of those people are sharing on social media.

Sure. Whether it's to verify the source, to add context, to really retell the story, to making sure whatever is happening is reported on social media. We can remember it, and we can understand what happened, and we can publish that so that the wider audience than the only few were following that personal social media, can actually understand what happened.

Yeah. Exactly. So, in your opinion, social media has, is a massive influence and very important to the future of journalism.

Absolutely. It's a paradigm shift.

Yep. And Storify is trying to be kind of like the platform to enable to bring all those things together, right?

Absolutely. We are the typewriter for this new social media age.

The typewriter, yeah, I remember that line. That was good. I liked that one. And well, any You have the mike.

Uh yeah, I like that. We should hang out more.

Absolutely, absolutely.

Thanks very much.
