#USATODAYCo. says #DeeperDive is an audience engagement tool, but when it produces errors, newspapers like the @beaconjournal issue editorial corrections. This makes DeeperDive a journalistic issue.
Help us fight #AISlop. Sign our petition.

If you care about quality journalism and believe that human journalists — not AI — are at the center of stories worth reading and watching, sign our @InsiderUnion's petition. Let @BusinessInsider know: We want #newsnotslop actionnetwork.org/petitions/…

Yesterday, @BusinessInsider hosted “The Long Play,” an event that touts itself as bringing together “influential leaders and executives” to “shape what comes next and to think strategically about how to withstand cycles, crises, and waves of new technology.”

Members wore red at the company awards ceremony this week to show pride in our colleagues’ work. Do leaders share that pride? AP execs are undercutting our journalism while honoring the best of our journalists.
We call for a reinstatement of our expert photo and video producers.

I dove into our union's archives to learn about this remarkable woman who helped lead our first major strike, was elected local president and then international vice president. She was fired for union activity and won her job back. Lessons 85 years later newsguild.org/eighty-five-ye…
Media workers at the St. Paul Pioneer Press want commonsense AI guardrails but the newspaper's hedge fund-owned parent company keeps rejecting their proposals. 1/3
What are the workers proposing, you ask?
👉 For AI-generated content to be labeled and reviewed by a human
👉 For no AI content to appear under reporters' bylines
👉 For no deep fakes images to be published
👉 For no replacement of journalists by AI
2/3
If you don't want AI slop in your news, tell the Pioneer Press as much! act.aflcio.org/letters/tell-…

I've added my name to this petition. It's disturbing that so many news companies (looking at you @USATODAY) are spitting misinformation onto articles. It needs to stop.
The NewsGuild-CWA retweeted
DeeperDive, an AI summary tool, on @beaconjournal stories violates @USATODAYCo's ethical guidelines by not maintaining a "human-in-the-loop" before publication.
It produces errors. Readers get corrections.
Sign our petition against AI slop.

We need news, not slop.
🚨NEW: Journalists at two Ohio newspapers owned by USA TODAY Co. are withholding their bylines from stories featuring an AI bot that shares inaccurate information. The tool violates the company’s standards of requiring a “human in the loop,” raising editorial integrity concerns.

Stop the bots! The @PioneerPress union is fighting for AI protections in our contract. If you don't want a bot clone of your favorite reporter writing stories under their byline, tell our bosses to keep our coverage human:

The NewsGuild-CWA retweeted
Should an AI bot write your news? The unionized employees of the @PioneerPress don't think so.
Tell our bosses that you don't want an algorithm deciding what you read: act.aflcio.org/letters/tell-…

Many of us met up last night at Barrio to celebrate our organizing efforts. (Check out the ADS/Tucson Citizen display behind us!) We've been inspired/revitalized by the outpouring of community support for our union and we're feeling more hopeful than ever about the Star's future!
