“It has been a profound privilege to lead Nieman, not in spite of the industry complexities but because of them. Each year, journalism faced new challenges and each year, a new class of fellows rose to confront them. Fortifying those journalists for the future is essential. I am grateful to the colleagues who joined me in that work, strengthened collaboration here on campus and supported a global community sometimes fighting for the very right to practice journalism.” — Ann Marie Lipinski

“’I’m trying to overdose the viewer on luridness, to try to confront them with the fact that they seem to be so invested in the luridness of it all. People’s secret lives, their secret affairs that are really taboo,’ Paul told me. Of course, Paul was also making money from the videos.”

“While Musk’s X has made its entrenched opposition to the EU’s approach to online governance crystal clear, there are other worrying signs for the bloc. To wit: Meta recently dropped its own commitment to fact-checking. And yet, it remains on the list of Code signatories — at least for now — which looks awkward to say the least.”

“For months, Mark Zuckerberg has laid it on thick in an attempt to curry favor with the administration, flattering Trump publicly and preaching the right-wing gospel on podcasts.

“The political right has increasingly ramped up an assault on mainstream journalists in recent weeks. Since his inauguration, Mr. Trump has amplified false claims that the government secretly funded news outlets including Politico, calling it ‘the biggest scandal of them all,’ while taking time to name specific journalists and calling for them to be fired.”

“The Daily is so highly produced that it takes hours and hours to make a single episode, with producers and editors working until between 10 p.m. and midnight most nights, according to a source familiar with the process. And there’s always the possibility that the planned show will get scrapped at the eleventh hour if there’s breaking news. Tavernise raised issues with the workflow and urged the show to add a third host months before she ultimately decided to leave, I’m told.”

“She succeeds Adi Ignatius, who led a period of impressive innovation and growth for the iconic media brand and has decided to move to the role of Editor at Large to spearhead the launch of a new HBR offering for C-suite leaders.”

“In some cases, according to the suit, Cohere is also infringing on publishers’ trademarks by delivering ‘hallucinated’ material—with information that wasn’t actually published by the outlet—under a publisher’s name.”

“While Mr. Carr has ordered investigations into several media entities, the inquiry into Comcast is the first focused solely on D.E.I. His investigation into PBS and NPR focused on corporate sponsorships of news programming, and his inquiry at CBS News is focused on ‘news distortion’ complaint. Mr. Carr said in his letter that he was starting his D.E.I. push with Comcast because the company covered ‘a range of sectors regulated by the F.C.C.,’ including cable and high-speed internet.”

“Notably, Judge Bibas ruled in Thomson Reuters’ favor on the question of fair use. The fair use doctrine is a key component of how AI companies are seeking to defend themselves against claims that they used copyrighted materials illegally.”
