I assume the “Let’s do the f*cking news!” banner will be appearing at any moment over in our newsroom, right? I mean, we have that CBS legacy to maintain after all.

How do people think different sectors’ use of generative AI will change their experience of interacting with them?

More optimists than pessimists for e.g. science and search engines, but more pessimists than optimists for news media, government, and – especially – politicians 1/3

Me: Today we are going to talk about censorship.

Student: Is it because it’s #BannedBooksWeek?

Me: Yes!

I have lined this topic up with this week for years and this is the first time a student called out the connection in advance. 😊

Getting to examine, across these 2 studies, how @franciamarquezm.bsky.social positioned herself via social media and how the news media covered her was, unfortunately, what I expected: She pushed for empowerment and progress for marginalized groups and the news media cast her in delegitimizing ways.

More than half of Americans get their news regularly from Tiktok. And this has more than doubled in 5 years. Tiktok has become a key gateway to news and politics.

This makes ownership of and content on the platform even more important.

I can boycott almost every network because I already have my favorite shows on DVD. Physical media makes it easier to boycott fascism!!!! You can pry my DVDs out of my cold, dead hands.
