@Raseef22 @Datasketch @TheICIR @amandacbright @ryanarestivo @oglethorpe_echo @yeseoapp @maldita What if AI could help spot vague sourcing, emotional bias, or gaps in reporting before readers do?

🇮🇱@HashomrimOrg is working to do so as part of the #JournalismAI Innovation Challenge supported by the @GoogleNewsInit

We asked @ryanarestivo to share what he's learned about SEO-friendly headlines since @yeseoapp launched.

Can you guess the most common word to appear in AI-generated headlines?

From the end of my @BlueRibbonSport preview for @MaristMBB for this year… you start with Collins-Roberts/Pascarelli/Daughtry as a solid core. I’m interested to see what other pieces come along in this rotation

This should add up to be the best Marist team since 2007. #MAAChoops

[Marist Men's Basketball @MaristMBB]

We've been selected as the preseason number two @MAACHoops team heading into the 2024-25 season!

This is the highest we've been picked in the Preseason Poll since 2007, when we were picked first and won the regular-season title.

If anyone wants to ask me “what do you think will happen for you in the next 5 years?”

I’ll first have to say you should see what happened the past 5 years and if you asked me then I would’ve expected none of this!

[Ryan Restivo @ryanarestivo]

A few thoughts I wanted to share about the @YESEOapp at the Online Journalism Awards and my time at #ONA24 - congrats BBC on the win and this nomination was a great time to reflect on the last 18 or so months since launching this thing.

[YESEO App @yeseoapp]

Congratulations to the @BBC for their win in Excellence in AI Innovation.

This project is inspiring in how it pushes the boundaries of how news can be reported with AI.

[Ryan Restivo @ryanarestivo]

@yeseoapp Thank you @ByNikitaRoy for your shout out to YESEO in your presentation “A Journalist's Guide to Ethical Generative
Al Use”

Was not ready for the direct call out by you though at @ONAConf #ONA24 🙃

Good morning Atlanta, big day at

Today the @YESEOapp is a finalist for the Online Journalism Award for Excellence in AI Innovation

[Ryan Restivo @ryanarestivo]

@joe_sheehan Does this new ghost runner rule have more in common with college football OT rules? Does it favor the home team how college teams go defense first or is the sample not big enough yet to know?

[Ryan Restivo @ryanarestivo]

The new @YESEOapp images look good in the Slack App Directory!

Great to show off YESEO being a finalist in the category of Excellence in AI Innovation at the Online Journalism Awards on Sept. 20. #OJA24

@JerryBeach73 Only a single and homer away…

One of the most fun things all year I do is Blue Ribbon talking to coaches that I’ve known for a long time and get insights on what their potential season will be like.

Covering the @AmericaEast is fun and my MAAC teams.

[William Paxton @wspaxton]

Just wrapped up the MAAC basketball previews for blue ribbon with @pioneer_pride and @ryan_restivo ….. Quinnipiac by far the best team going into the season with four starters back.

[Ryan Restivo @ryanarestivo]

Going to share a lot more about how the @YESEOapp is used coming up at #SRCCON in my session with @ByNikitaRoy

[YESEO App @yeseoapp]

How should you use YESEO? @PaulGewuerz of the Small Press, Big Ideas podcast asks and @ryanarestivo talks about how to use it to be more data aware, as a check on your intuition when you think about your stories.

[Ryan Restivo @ryanarestivo]

To be fair, I only found out when I got a text and a Slack message from two different people saying “Congrats” on Friday.

Then I found out for myself…

[YESEO App @yeseoapp]

@ryanarestivo @kylebhansen @sltrib Want @ryanarestivo to train you on how to use the YESEO app? He will show you how to get the most out of the tool.

See what @kylebhansen has to say on when Ryan trained the team at @sltrib!

#SEOtools

[YESEO App @yeseoapp]

Still true today what @RyanARestivo said on @themediacopilot with @petepachal: AI is a tool that helps us get from point A to point B.

YESEO was made with some AI principles, but it's never been about blindly using AI, it's been about helping people.

GenAI could boost the efficiency of a majority of editorial tasks in journalism. But that means recruiting, hiring, and retaining people with a host of AI skills. So, how is the labor market in the news industry evolving post ChatGPT? Read here: https://t.co/hp5Nh96WPx
