About Ted Anthony
I tell stories. Stories about you and me and us, about our country and our world and the strange and meaningful tapestry of human experience. I tell stories about things that connect with each other unexpectedly, and about how the most insignificant details in our surroundings can, when poked at, turn out to mean everything. Once I wrote an entire book about a single song. When left to my own devices, I gravitate to stories about the building blocks of American culture and the state of a changing China. I do other things, too. I currently work as AP\'s director of new storytelling and newsroom innovation, helping to drive the organization forward toward an even more creative future. As a leader in AP\'s news operation for more than two decades, I have tried to bring an unerring sense of creative storytelling — in any form, in any fashion, on any platform — into our journalism as our industry changes fundamentally and shifts onto exciting and disruptive new platforms. Along the way, I teach and train and mentor and speak about journalism and why it must remain a fundamental and relevant part of the world during an uncertain era.
