Hello Friends, as some of you might know we have recently faced multiple attacks, smearing and false claims from individuals and bots online. Some of these seem to be linked to a court case with a journalist we reported about in 2021. While her case is ongoing in Oregon court, our organization and past associates have also been dragged in. Firstly, we are just so sorry to everyone who is being unnecessarily tagged on our behalf, including journalist @Aliceinalbania who has no link to CFWIJ. Alice has not been with us for a long time. We recognize that this tagging is simply a form of harassment widely used by trolls to distract and intimidate organizations and individuals. We must mention in the strictest terms, we do not condone violence or anyone else who does. We would urge those harassing us and our associates, present or past to reconsider their actions and focus their energies to make the world a better, more tolerant and accommodating place for all human beings. This time reminds us of the difficult terrain that is social justice work. In a divided world, we should focus on coming together. The best way to honor our own humanity is to honor the humanity of each other. With that, we send peace, prayers and love to everyone.

Thanks for the conversation and terrific conference, Akintúndé!
On News, Technology and Innovation
Conversation with Amy Mitchell (@asmitch), Executive Director at the Center for News, Technology & Innovation, and Akintunde Babatunde (@olorunwababs), Director of Programs at the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development. Delving into the impact of generative AI on newsrooms, we explored how AI aligns with journalistic principles while dispelling concerns about job displacement. In our fast-paced digital era, the synergy between news, technology, and innovation is pivotal. At the #MediaAndDevelopment Conference by @CJIDAfrica, Amy shared insights on the transformative power of technology in journalism, emphasizing challenges and opportunities. Grateful for Amy's contribution, I anticipate continued collaboration between @CNTI_global and @CJIDAfrica in shaping a positive future for media innovation. #NewsTechInnovation #MediaConference

As many elections approach, we must do all we can to stem disinformation-but in a way that doesn't risk an independent press or access to fact-based news. @CNTI_global's Disinformation Primer lays out the complexities, state of research, legislation & more bit.ly/3M4Or8P

Fascinating discussion Monday during #UNGA on “Using AI to Protect Civilians in Conflict Zones,” sponsored by @microsoft’s Democracy Forward Initiative & @truepic. Lots to think about re: AI and how it can be used. Thrilled @CNTI_global is kicking off its AI series next month!
