"The power of unrestricted funding becomes even clearer when it enables genuine innovation. A benefit of doing independent journalism without the pressures of profit and circulation is the ability to experiment." https://t.co/DcyJMUXMyd

"“There is increasingly a number of foundations that are interested in funding journalism, but we haven’t seen that many dollars hit newsrooms’ bank accounts yet,” said Hibon." https://t.co/2XKeK7UvW0

"As credible local news fades further and further in the rear-view mirror, misinformation fills the vacuum.

Local news is also trusted – and missed."

.@ByNikitaRoy says she see a move from "fear to innovation" when she works with newsrooms to train them on how to use AI.

@parismarx sees a similarity between the current AI moment and the pivot to vide: "Now with generative AI, we're seeing a new version of that."

[Press Forward @pressforward_ca]

Our opening panel - AI in and for the newsroom - is kicking off a conversation that many publications are having about artificial intelligence.

"A lot employers, they're not sure what it looks like either. There's a lot of fear." - @RandyLKitt

And we're off to a start!

"...the death of a newspaper does not simply affect the fortunes of the journalists and editors employed there, but rather brings about a whole raft of consequences for the community itself, including declining participation in civic life and lower rates of voting."

[Press Forward @pressforward_ca]

"Our problem is not simply that the public does not trust us, it’s that they do trust other dishonest brokers. We are not just witnessing a crisis of credibility, we are experiencing a crisis of credulity as well." https://t.co/sFiNhB4rux

"Journalists, keen to tell other people’s stories, don’t tell their own very well. Let’s start with ditching the “journalism is dying” narrative, Sobowale says." https://t.co/zyURH3cq3B
