Smart phones are changing the way Americans hail cabs, book hotels and, of course, consume news. She has written more than half a dozen TIME cover stories and interviewed numerous heads of state, including Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush.

She authored the 2016 best-selling book, Broad Influence: How Women Are Changing the Way America Works.

Before TIME, Newton-Small was a reporter for Bloomberg News, where she covered the White House and politics.

Newton-Small received an M.S.

in journalism from Columbia University and undergraduate degrees in International Relations and Art History from Tufts University. The collision of reality tv and cable news that led to Donald Trump’s presidency is just at the beginning of this war between two immutable forces, disruption and government, which will redefine our democracy for centuries to come.

The Coming Caregiving Crisis

America is short more than one million family caregivers and we will be short more than 4 million by 2030, the year that the last of the Baby Boomers turn 70.

The problem is our bureaucracy was built by founding fathers who viewed rapid change as akin to tyranny: they imposed checks and balances to ensure deliberation. Enter the states, unions, startups and non-profits. Add to that the disruption of media as outlets struggle to find footing in the digital age, fake news and twitter-sized attention spans.

She has written nearly a dozen TIME cover stories and contributed to dozens of others. Not since the invention of the printed press has the world been so disrupted. But these efforts will do little to stem the catastrophe that will pull millions of mostly women out of the workforce just as they are reaching critical mass and finally making as difference.

Broad Influence: How Women Are Changing the Way America Works

Broad Influence is an insightful look at how women are transforming government, politics, and the workforce, and how they are using that power shift to effect change throughout America.

Jay Newton-Small is a cofounder of MemoryWell, which tells the life stories of those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Previously, Newton-Small was Washington correspondent for TIME, where she covered politics as well as stories on five continents from conflicts in the Middle East to the earthquake in Haiti and the November 2015 Paris terror attacks.

There’s a huge body of research that shows, whether it’s a legislature, a corporate board, a Navy ship, or an appellate court, when women reach this tipping point they begin to change how things are done - for the better. The daughter of two United Nations diplomats, she grew up abroad, living in such places as Asia, Africa and Europe. We are in the midst of a once-in-a-500-year information revolution.

And they want to see their government equally disrupted. She is a former longtime Washington correspondent for TIME covering the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns for TIME, as well as Congress and the White House. Startups like Honor, Care Academy and Jay’s MemoryWell have also begun to tackle the issue. She is the 2016 winner of the prestigious Dirksen Award for congressional reporting and the 2016 Deadline Club award for community service reporting.

Jay’s best-selling book looks at everything from Hollywood and the end of the casting couch culture to the historic numbers of women running for office.

These days in Washington people like to remark: We live in interesting times, in the best sense of the ancient Chinese curse. Critical mass can be between 20-30%, depending on the ratio of leaders and rank-and-file women.

So just as the need for care will be the highest, the quality and supply of it will be the scarcest.
