c. “Steve Jobs worked to take technology and make it usable for non-technologists. He helped democratize technology. That is huge.”
d. “The future of journalism is inextricably linked with technology. There is no way around that. And journalists who don’t get that are actively holding journalism back.”

Reiman, a journalism legend, will deliver the keynote talk on Tuesday, May 22 at 9 a.m.
