SF Digital Media
AI meets journalism.
I help bridge the gap.
I'm Steve Fink — Founder of StudyFinds, Director of AI at The Washington Times, and a former CBS News executive. Through SF Digital Media, I consult with media organizations, newsrooms, and digital publishers navigating the AI moment.
I'm not a vendor pitching software — I'm a practitioner who uses and builds these tools every day. That means my advice is grounded in what actually works in real newsrooms, not in pitch decks.
What I Do
AI Strategy & Integration
Help your newsroom or media company understand, evaluate, and implement AI tools that actually work — without the hype and without the risk.
Editorial AI Workflow Design
Map your content production process and identify where AI can compress timelines, improve quality, or open new revenue streams.
Digital Journalism Consulting
Audience development, SEO strategy, content architecture, and editorial product — built on two decades of running digital publications.
AI Tools & Vendor Evaluation
Cut through the noise. I'll assess AI tools and vendors for your specific use case and tell you plainly what's worth your time.
Speaking & Workshops
Keynotes, panels, and hands-on workshops for media teams, conferences, and journalism schools on AI and the future of digital news.
Why Work With Me
- ✓I've run large content operations at CBS News, so I understand how scale, speed, and editorial quality interact.
- ✓I founded and still run StudyFinds — I experience the same pressures my clients face every single day.
- ✓As Director of AI at The Washington Times, I'm actively implementing the strategies I advise on.
- ✓I've built AI products myself (InsideFood.ai, SciPR.ai, ScoreMyMeal) — I know what works in the real world.
- ✓I speak journalism, not just tech. My advice translates for editors, not just engineers.
Let's talk.
Whether you're a media company trying to understand AI or a newsroom looking to build smarter editorial workflows — I'd love to hear what you're working on.
