  My guest is Harriet Meyer — award-winning journalist (The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph), AI trainer, and author of the AI for Media newsletter on LinkedIn. Harriet Meyer's career began in the early 2000s at the Daily Telegraph, chasing stories by phone and lunching with contacts.

In this conversation, Andrew and Harriet explore where AI genuinely helps newsrooms, where the red lines are, and what every curious professional can borrow from a journalist's toolkit. Key Topics Covered: How the UK Budget first showed Harriet what AI could do for journalists drowning in government documents Why journalistic scepticism is the perfect foundation for working intelligently with AI The shift from burying heads in the sand to genuine curiosity across newsrooms in 2025/26 Investigative AI wins: the New York Times and the manosphere; Swedish journalists cracking a 40-year-old cold case of an assassinated prime minister Why writing is still thinking, and how Whisper Flow changed Harriet's drafting process The fake experts problem, and why journalists are right to be wary How PR firms are moving from generic AI use to bespoke, client-specific workflows Being found by AI: Andrew's FAQ-and-schema strategy for AI-native discoverability The danger of young professionals offloading thinking to AI before they've built the underlying skills Using AI as a decision partner that surfaces the emotional impact of your work Harriet's Three Actionable Takeaways: Go deep and narrow, not wide and shallow — pick one specific use case (research, interview prep, analysis) and really master how AI helps there Learn the boundaries — test where it fails, check sources, push on quotes, find the gaps Build human review into the process — use AI as a thought partner, but keep your editorial judgement in charge at every stage Where to Find Harriet: LinkedIn: Harriet Meyer Newsletter: AI for Media on LinkedIn Thanks for listening to Digitally Curious .
