The loss of federal funding and AI's reshaping of the media landscape present risks and opportunities for public media and public service journalism. This session features a transparent conversation between a local and national leader who are experimenting with GAI in ways that maintain trust with the audience, center the work and judgment of journalists, and augment storytelling and engagement. Join us for a lively discussion focused on transparency, ethics and how organizations can advocate for the sustainability, impact, and continued production of high-quality, human-centered journalism.
