(3/3) Embrace the changes and be forward-thinking. Everyone this week acknowledged how AI can be useful in our ecosystem of information, provided there's human oversight. James Pierechod notes "It's not finding the industry AI won't touch, it's using AI to deliver in real time

A week done here @LeedsTrinity for @JournalismWeek concluded, so much learnt, so much to reflect on and take forwards. Hearing from some of the biggest voices in the industry to the alumni who walked the steps I'm yet to walk, it was all on offer

(2/3) Get your foot in the door. This was a phrase I heard literally every day. @reetacbbc explicitly said "this is an industry where you will be rewarded by working hard" and this is further reinforced when Ellie Brennan of Radio 2 talks about 'saying yes to everything'

The final talk of the week I attended came from Kieran Smith @GRVMedia. Covering SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and how to optimise our outputs for website views and dwell time.

"With the introduction of AI, SEO is not dead" is a key point made

Hearing from @alumniLTU speakers was refreshing, with personal, relatable experiences from those who sat in our very shoes.

@Joe_Drabs made an important point of 'lifting each other up and onwards' which is commonly overlooked in such a competitive industry #LTU #relatable

"My mum grabbed my hand and said 'I always knew you were gay'" - @BenShires talking about returning to his home town of Beverley after knowing he would be "a shit-hole lawyer" and that he wanted to pursue a career in entertainment.

"Actually, can we have some women asking some questions" - @reetacbbc

Asking ITV journalist Raj Kaur how men can eliminate privilege which we are sometimes blinded to, Raj asks that we "speak up if we notice that privilege" showing the importance of our voices #LTU #Equality

Despite the @BBC day during our fortunate @JournalismWeek taking place, we must not forget all those involved within the war efforts which helped to preserve the very democracy and liberty we take for granted in journalism and in daily life. #lestweforget #RemembranceDay

[Uchenna Haq @Uche_mane]
