What we're reading this week


  Miranda: With the use of AI in journalism on the rise, this is an interesting analysis of pros and cons and a discussion of quality versus quantity.

  Ben: For The Post and Courier in Charleston, South Carolina, the answer to declining print and advertising revenue has not been to publish more stories to chase more clicks. They're publishing half as many articles as they used to, but revenue is way up. Poynter and Better News dig into why.

  Kay: Google dorking? OSINT? GIJN shows us what this means and how it can be used for your reporting in their latest tips and tools article.

  Paola: Watch this video discussion on innovative financial models of non-profit journalism. Leaders of non-profit journalism ventures examine the opportunities and challenges inherent to supplying, supporting and financing essential local news coverage.

  Inndy: I'm sorry to hear about the loss of my cousin Beresheet, but none can deny her accomplishment in getting to the Moon.
