The future of news | Molly DeWolf Swenson | TEDxBerlin

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Molly tells us about how she and RYOT.org feel the Future of News should be. On RYOT.org every news piece is linked to a call for action.

Molly is the COO of RYOT.org - the first breaking news site that links every story to an action - and is a producer of RYOT Films, working on documentary projects from Kenya to the Arctic. She is also an experienced philanthropic consultant who has designed, implemented and managed highly-leveraged philanthropic strategies for celebrities such as Ben Stiller, Shakira and Kobe Bryant. Molly previously worked at The White House for the Obama Administration, identifying candidates for political appointment. She was also a Top 50 contestant on Season 10 of American Idol.

Molly graduated with honors from Harvard University. She serves on the Nexus Global Youth Summit and is a member of LA Women In Tech and LA Advisors In Philanthropy. She has been featured in The New Yorker, The Seattle Times, The Washington Post, Mic.com, The Guardian and RYOT.org.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
