Jedes Jahr bietet das RHET AI Center in Kooperation mit Cyber Valley im Rahmen des #Journalist-in-Residence-Programms Journalist:innen die Möglichkeit, in einem drei- bis sechsmonatigen Forschungsaufenthalt in Tübingen zu einem selbstgewählten Projekt an der Schnittstelle von Künstlicher Intelligenz und Journalismus zu recherchieren.

💡Die Erfahrungen von Anna Henschel und Willem de Haan, die 2024 am JIR teilgenommen haben, könnt ihr auf unserer Website nachlesen: rhet.ai/2025/04/16/ein-blick-i

We all know that we lack knowledge about most subjects on Earth.
So, we look things up on #Wikipedia whenever we don't know something.

Once you have been a Wikipedia editor for a while you learn the community has major flaws. So you trust quality #journalism instead.

Once you work as a #journalist, you realise that you can largely just write whatever you want without any qualifications. So you look up to scientists instead.

And once you work in #academia... you realise civilisation is a myth.

The firms from #Canada didn't show because

1. They didn't want to spend money in the US

2. They are very concerned they will be detained for weeks, just like other Canadian citizens!!!!

We share a long border with Canada. It's a marine border. Boaters and fishing boats often go between both countries

I grew up on an island about 20 miles south of the border, and we would go to Canada all the time

A real #journalist needs to report on this

How to leak to a #journalist
TL;DR
— Personal devices only
— Don’t leak from work, on a work device, or from work Wi-Fi
— Use Signal and Signal’s camera
— The reporter should recreate any image you leak before displaying it to the public
Plan your leak
Decide which reporter you want to leak to.
Don’t do any of this research on a work device.
You may want to look into #whistleblower support services

I just pulled out of an event in California at the end of the month where I was due to speak. The TLDR is that I no longer feel safe attending an event in the US where my presence is advertised in advance, give some of the very real threats made against our team in the comments. I’m just so done of the BS.

<edit> - While I DO live in the U.S (Oregon, which is luckly pretty darned safe) and I'm usually cool driving to California or Washington (again pretty cool, chill states), the issue was my attendance being advertised when I'm a content creator/journalist who has been the target of some online crap of late... especially since YouTube changed its comment policies on hate speech and trans folk.

In a searing piece for The New #Arab, #Palestinian #journalist Abubaker Abed, from #Gaza, writes:

“For 538 days, I mistakenly believed that the #Muslim world would come to our aid… I ask you now: How can you rejoice while we are wrapped in shrouds? How can you wear your finest clothes while we are wrapped in shrouds? How can you enjoy sweets while the children in my neighbourhood draw food in the sand?”

#WhiteHouse figures out how it texted #secret bombing plans to a #reporter

A White House investigation has reportedly identified the mistakes that led to a #journalist being added to a #Signal text chain in which #bombing plans were discussed hours before the strikes occurred.

#Palestinian #journalist Ahmed Mansour was burned in his tent on Sunday night, survived the fire but his life-threatening injuries were too severe to be handled by Gazan doctors without the necessary medical equipment. Ahmed died after a few hours. The picture shows him with his little baby-nephew who has not only lost his uncle but also both parents.

Die Entwicklung des #Erneuerbaren-Zubaus ist nicht so sehr die Botschaft (auch wenn sie #goodnews wäre). @chrisstoecker bringt das eigentliche Problem so gut wie kaum einer auf den Punkt: Wir brauchen die #Energiewende (i.S.v. Kulturwandel) v.a. in den #Redaktionen. In den Köpfen der #Journalist:innen! Denn dort herrscht nach wie vor ganz überwiegend fossil-nukleares Zeitalter, und dominiert die Berichterstattung. Gegen jede Realität. Immer wieder.

DER SPIEGEL · Strom aus Sonne und Wind: Die übersehene RevolutionBy Christian Stöcker

#Australian #financial #journalist #AlanKohler of @ABC has been the only commentator I've heard today who hasn't tried to #sanewash the #BatShitCrazy effluent coming out of the mouth of the world's most dangerous man.

Kohler doesn't hold back. He describes #Trump as a man with "zero expertise" who "doesn't know what he's doing". He describes the way that the #tarriffs were calculated as "bonkers".

When they come to throw you into the #gulag Alan I'll proudly share a cell with you.
