Jeff Jarvis is the Emeritus Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at CUNY's Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, a Visiting Professor at Stony Brook University, and a Distinguished Fellow at Montclair State University. Widely known for his commentary on media, the Internet, and technology, his latest book, Hot Type: The Magnificent Machine that Gave Birth to Mass Media and Drove Mark Twain Mad (Bloomsbury, 2026), explores how the development of the  Linotype machine in the nineteenth century transformed publishing.

He is also editor of a new series published by Bloomsbury, Intelligence: AI & Humanity, and cohosts two AI podcasts, Intelligent Machines and AI Inside.

“We are very excited to hear from Jeff Jarvis at NISO Plus,” said Todd Carpenter, NISO Executive Director. “ At this critical moment in the history of the information community, he’s an ideal speaker for a conference exploring ways to address how new technologies are shaping the future of scholarly publishing. We’re looking forward to hearing him bring his expertise to bear on AI, authorship, and more.”
