On the board: Poynter’s Kelly McBride - “one of the authors of Poynter’s AI ethics guidelines, an editorial standards starter kit that has been adopted by newsrooms across the U.S. and internationally.”
Last week, Suncoast Searchlight's four reporters wrote a letter to their board. Their editor-in-chief had secretly been using ChatGPT and inserting hallucinated quotes into their drafts.
The next day, one of those reporters was fired. My latest for @niemanlab.org. www.niemanlab.org/2025/11/flor...
