Poynter: Opinion | An FT column was condensed with AI. It crossed a novel ethical line.. “Every week seems to bring a new scandal at the crossroads of journalism and artificial intelligence: plagiarism, outright fabrication, em dashes and ‘not this but that’ galore. Using AI to condense a writer’s work, though, is a somewhat novel addition to the genre.”

I low-key feel like subscribing to your local #newspapers is a civic duty and that we should be organizing subscription drives or something.
Maybe kind of a weird stance, but local journalists are the only ones digging into local issues on the community's behalf, I think societies are hurting for lack of rough consensus on events, and reading 100 rando's short-form takes on events is not a substitute.

NiemanLab: We analyzed 6,400 New York Times stories to find out how comments change when you give readers more information. “Data journalists have sometimes wondered whether loading a story with data can be overwhelming rather than clarifying. We found that giving readers more information changes who comments, and how.”

CW: Journalism, Surveillance State
So journalism is well and truly dead. Not a new thought. At this point there are so many nails in the coffin…

Ugh. The local paper is rife with stories about "what could happen" tomorrow -- primary election day.
We'll just have to wait and see, won't we?
(We're eyeing that Pillow Guy contest with relish, though, to mix a metaphor.)
I used to enjoy observing this stuff, owing to my former profession, but I'm rather tired of it now. Especially the dreadful political ads on television and eww-tube.
Honestly if people make up their minds based on the millions spent on dire-sounding paid announcements on television, why, I'm nonplussed.
The bad mood's only natural as one approaches the limit. I blame the electorate.
That said, see ya at the polls!
