Re: Ars Technica's incident with the "AI"-written article that they silently yanked instead of transparently correcting ...
Ars did publish a separate, mostly-opaque "Yes, the article was AI-written, and we've dealt with this internally" article a few days later. That is not up to the transparency standards that good journalistic outlets demand.
Over the weekend, another website carried a story including quotes from the "reporter" at issue, revealing he had in fact been dismissed from Ars. I feel bad for the guy, but this is the minimum a media org can do in a situation like this, and it's the natural outcome of his actions. It's not like he was randomly laid off.
But Ars has still not been transparent, so... I have no regrets cancelling my subscription at Ars. The quality of their journalism, particularly deep technical stuff, has been suspect and declining for years, and this was really just the last straw.

Facts Matter: The Foundation of Truth and Integrity
By, Cliff Potts, WPS News, Editor-in-Chief
Baybay City | January 11, 2025
Op-EdIn an era where information flows ceaselessly through digital channels, untangling the web of data to discern fact from fiction is increasingly challenging. Yet, facts remain the bedrock upon which credible and actionable knowledge is built. They are the hard, tangible evidence that informs understanding and guides informed decision-making.
Facts are unwavering truths, the steadfast pillars of certainty that defy our personal biases and interpretations. They ignite the flames of scientific inquiry and underpin the very essence of our legal systems, acting as the fair and impartial judges in our debates and the bedrock upon which consensus is built. From the echoes of historical events etched in a multitude of converging records to the precise data gleaned from meticulously controlled scientific measurements, facts rise above the fickle nature of subjective perception, boldly asserting their undeniable significance.
The unyielding nature of facts is what bestows upon them their formidable power. They stand firmly against the winds of political pressures and the ever-shifting tides of culture. When facts shine bright and remain unchallenged, they become a shared beacon that allows for the evaluation of arguments and ideologies. In both the court of public opinion and the realm of legal proceedings, it is the unwavering presence of hard evidence—the pure, untainted facts—that secures outcomes firmly rooted in the fabric of reality.
While facts are the foundational components, truth is the narrative constructed from these building blocks. Truth is the accurate telling of facts, but it involves selection, interpretation, and presentation. When truth is well-tended, it seeks to depict a faithful representation of reality that aligns with the known facts. This distinction is crucial because the process of telling the truth involves a human element, which introduces both the potential for enlightenment and the peril of bias.
In the realm of journalism, the sacred duty of truth-telling ignites a fervent passion to distill overwhelming volumes of information into a compelling narrative that embodies the very essence of reality. Herein lies the vital importance of integrity. A journalist’s unwavering dedication to truth demands an intense scrutiny of the facts at hand, courageously rejecting the seductive pull of sensationalism that may dazzle the audience but ultimately warps the truth.
At WPS.News, a radiant beacon illuminating the vast ocean of media outlets, our unwavering dedication to meticulous fact-finding and fearless truth-telling drives us forward. This profound commitment to authenticity is the very essence of our mission. Regardless of our size, WPS.News passionately strives to gather, scrutinize, and present information grounded in verifiable facts, empowering our audience to access news that is not only factual but also inherently trustworthy.
Whether illuminating the intricacies of global politics or unraveling local community concerns, our approach places facts at the forefront. By committing to truth as the telling of facts, WPS.News seeks not only to inform but also to foster a well-informed public that can engage in meaningful dialogue and make decisions grounded in reality.
In conclusion, in an age fraught with misinformation, facts matter because they anchor us in reality, steering conversations and decisions toward grounded truth. Truth matters because it interprets these facts for meaningful understanding and action. At WPS.News, this commitment to factual accuracy and truthful reporting is not just a guiding principle—it is our unwavering pledge.

Here's something I find unsettling and confusing: I worry that if I include on my resume and/or cover letter that I have a record of showing a strong ethical backbone, or something about my deep interest in journalism ethics, that it will work against me, like, uh-oh, this guy will be trouble.
How screwed up is that?

#NewYorkTimes barely glances at the "sticky" ethical issues involved, like how this kind of revolving door erodes trust in media; that these positions could be held by real journalists; that Psaki knows things she won't divulge; that Psaki stonewalled some of her new colleagues, and misled others. Why not ask those questions? Why frame it so softly? #Journalism #JournalismEthics
