Who paid for Nikki Haley's staged & intentionally inflammatory photo op? AFAIK tourists aren't typically allowed to visit artillery units in combat zones and get hands on with live munitions.
What is going on here? Why does the press seem disinterested in how this eye-candy for pro-genocide Americans came to be?
I feel a little dirty suggesting this, but is there any way we can take the impulse of those who love statistics and following weekly (or even by-the-minute) updates when it comes to organized corporate sports and create news sites that do that for ongoing newsbeats?
That is, not the "if it bleeds, it leads" stuff, but doggedly investigating, going after corruption, etc.? #Newstodon#Journalism#Civics
"There is a mini cottage industry of punditry that is forever on the lookout for the merest hint of disrespect toward #conservative voters, particularly #rural & working-class #white ones. But the fact that the #GOP nominee for president approvingly posted a video that declares a large ideological subgroup of #Americans “done” & “gone” if he is elected... appears to have garnered almost no headlines." https://newrepublic.com/article/181973/trump-media-attacks-media-dangerous-turn
Today, after a year of preparation, we launched our own medium, Page Not Found ( https://pagenotfound.cz/ ), focused on slow journalism. We did it on nights and free weekends as an alternative to the big media houses. We want to focus on slow journalism and it's in our DNA to fight for a free internet without unnecessary barriers. That's why the important stories won't be behind a paywall! We are also working with innovative design. I will be glad for feedback pagenotfound.cz #media#journalism
I just noticed that the Washington Post now has an AI summary tool for some news articles. Not sure whether this tool is only for subscribers or shown to everyone.
Supposedly this summary is "AI-generated, newsroom reviewed" which I guess means that humans do verify that it's accurate?
#AI#GenerativeAI#ChatGPT#Media#News#Journalism: "ChatGPT is by far the most widely recognised generative AI product – around 50% of the online population in the six countries surveyed have heard of it. It is also by far the most widely used generative AI tool in the six countries surveyed. That being said, frequent use of ChatGPT is rare, with just 1% using it on a daily basis in Japan, rising to 2% in France and the UK, and 7% in the USA. Many of those who say they have used generative AI have used it just once or twice, and it is yet to become part of people’s routine internet use.
In more detail, we find:
While there is widespread awareness of generative AI overall, a sizable minority of the public – between 20% and 30% of the online population in the six countries surveyed – have not heard of any of the most popular AI tools.
In terms of use, ChatGPT is by far the most widely used generative AI tool in the six countries surveyed, two or three times more widespread than the next most widely used products, Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot.
Younger people are much more likely to use generative AI products on a regular basis. Averaging across all six countries, 56% of 18–24s say they have used ChatGPT at least once, compared to 16% of those aged 55 and over.
Roughly equal proportions across six countries say that they have used generative AI for getting information (24%) as creating various kinds of media, including text but also audio, code, images, and video (28%).
Just 5% across the six countries covered say that they have used generative AI to get the latest news."
National service can boost up job opportunities in Britain, it's a good idea of implemented properly!
Young people who take up a full-time armed forces placement under a national service scheme could get better work or study opportunities as a result, the Conservatives have said.
#UK#News#Media#Journalism#MurdochPapers#Murdoch#PhoneHacking: "It is essential to say that, although some 1,600 cases have been settled with the payment of damages, much of this new evidence consists of unproven allegations. The news organisations contest many of the alleged facts as well as the inferences on which the claimants are resting their cases. It will fall to the Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service to check the reality of the new evidence, to decide whether any of it is strong enough to warrant opening an investigation and, if so, whether it would be right to bring any charges against any of those alleged to be involved in unlawful behaviour.
What follows is the story of the evidence that is waiting to be examined, in addition to what was already known 10 years ago. Ultimately, it is a tale not only about the behaviour of the press, but also about the behaviour of power."
