Talking AI with MediaPost

Written By Debra Aho Williamson

I'm a big believer in staying in touch with former colleagues and managers. So it was especially fun to record an interview with someone I've known since I was fresh out of college, working my first job as a copy editor at Ad Age.

Editing the words of a veteran reporter (as Joe Mandese was) was absolutely terrifying to this 22-year-old.

But I'm glad he didn't take it too personally, and that when I reached out a few months ago to meet up when I was in New York, he gladly said yes. After Ad Age, Joe went on to become editor in chief of MediaPost, a true bible of the industry, and he's still there today, writing every day.

Thank you Joe for taking time to learn more about Sonata Insights and the AI topics I'm passionate about researching.
