Protecting Visual Storytelling: Tools for Radical Transparency in a Post-Truth Era

Synthetic media (AI-generated photo and video) increasingly undermines public trust in news imagery at a time when democratic resilience depends on accurate, verifiable information. This panel unpacks the adaptation of “radical” transparency as a tool for re-establishing public trust and cultivating audience literacy in the face of AI’s growing influence. Visual journalists and strategists will tackle how to establish image integrity in an AI-saturated world; why robust attribution and transparency is a key path forward in rebuilding public trust and is a news sustainability practice.
