About

About Jos Duncan-Asé

Jos Duncan-Asé is the founder, executive producer, and publisher of Love Now Media, an empathy-centered media company in Philadelphia that builds its stories with the communities who live them. It runs a digital newsroom, the print Love Now Magazine, podcasts, and live storytelling nights. In 2024 it published 72 stories and ran an essay series with Technical.ly on AI and the digital divide: the gap between the technologists who champion AI and the everyday people expected to use it. Its public AI policy says nothing AI-generated gets published without human writers and editors signing off. Jos holds an MFA from the City College of New York and studied information technology at Temple’s Fox School of Business.
