In a first for the @PulitzerPrizes , two winners this year disclosed using AI in their reporting. I spoke to the journalists behind those stories about how they leveraged AI and the growing role of machine learning in investigative reporting. @NiemanLab

"Student journalists stick around — and unlike national media, they are part of the same community as the people protesting, the people who disagree with the protests, and everyone in between..."

Israel's shutdown of @AlJazeera "marks a new low in its long-strained history with a country that much of Al Jazeera’s audience in the Arab world and beyond sees as an aggressor and an occupier."

A reminder: "The scale of local news destruction in Gannett’s markets is astonishing. It might not be as mustache-twirling a villain as Alden Global Capital, but its enormous scale has meant enormous losses for local journalism."

“We didn’t use AI to replace what would’ve otherwise been done manually. We used AI precisely because it was the type of task that would’ve taken so long to do manually that [it would distract from] other investigative work.”

In the past few weeks, thousands of student journalists have gone above and beyond — in many cases during finals, leadership transitions, and outside of normal production schedules — to cover the historic protests that have exploded on college campuses.

Add this: There has been a dramatic increase in posts containing screenshots of Canadian news stories in the post-ban period. People want to share news socially, but there needs to be a means to do it by which publishers are compensated for their work.

Ave Maria Radio GM Mike Jones told @cnalive he "foresees activists opposed to the stations’ Catholic mission weaponizing the public gender and race data, and also reiterated that the radio stations believe the FCC’s actions to be unconstitutional."

New by me —> This year’s @PulitzerPrizes were a coming-out party for online media — and a marker of local newspapers’ decline. For the first time ever, more online news sites produced a Pulitzer finalist (12) than did newspapers (8).
