In a recent episode of “Between the Lines,” Steve Lombardo spoke with Steve Clemons, Editor-at-Large at The National Interest, about changes in media and communication strategies. The conversation focused on understanding audience behaviors, using artificial intelligence tools effectively, and adapting to the evolving media environment.
Lombardo highlighted the importance of flexibility for communicators. He stated that success depends on adapting quickly, understanding how audiences behave, using technology thoughtfully—including AI—and working closely with media outlets to improve engagement.
The series “Between the Lines,” hosted by Lombardo, aims to examine differences between what is said, what is heard, and what is actually true in communications. Each episode features discussions with industry leaders about trends in media and lessons learned from their experiences.
Clemons’s work can be found at The National Interest as well as on Al Jazeera English’s “The Bottom Line.” Listeners are encouraged to connect with him through LinkedIn for further insights into his approach to journalism and communication.
