Intel has appointed Lip Butan as its new CEO, effective March 18th, following a tumultuous period marked by a 54% drop in share prices and the ousting of former CEO Pat Gelsinger. Butan, a seasoned tech investor and former CEO of Keynes Design Systems, is expected to revitalize Intel's fortunes and navigate its controversial Foundry strategy aimed at expanding manufacturing capabilities. Investors reacted positively to his appointment, with Intel's stock price rising over 11% in after-hours trading. Butan's leadership is seen as crucial for Intel to compete in the semiconductor market, particularly in smartphone and AI chip sectors.In the realm of cybersecurity, SailPoint has expanded its Managed Service Provider program to make identity security solutions more accessible to smaller enterprises, addressing the increasing threats targeting vulnerable identities. This initiative allows businesses to onboard identity security as a fundamental function, focusing on entry-level use cases while providing pathways for future growth. Meanwhile, TeamViewer has launched its first integrated solution with One E, enhancing digital workspace experiences through improved device monitoring and secure remote connectivity.SolarWinds has announced its acquisition of Squadcast, a company specializing in incident response solutions, to bolster its capabilities in managing complex IT environments. This merger aims to streamline incident response and improve operational resilience for IT professionals. Additionally, Verizon Business has introduced a new security service called Trusted Connection, which enhances cybersecurity by implementing continuous verification of access to devices, networks, and cloud applications, addressing the significant risks posed by stolen credentials.A recent study by the Tao Center for Digital Journalism has raised concerns about the reliability of generative AI search tools, revealing that over 60% of citations provided by these tools are incorrect. This highlights the urgent need for better evaluation and citation practices in AI-powered searches. Furthermore, research from Harvard Business Review indicates that while AI can enhance executive decision-making, it requires active human engagement to avoid critical blind spots. The findings suggest that companies must find the right balance between human oversight and AI capabilities to optimize decision-making processes. Four things to know today 00:00 Intel Bets on New CEO Lip-Bu Tan—Will the Foundry Gamble Pay Off?04:47 Big Security Moves: SailPoint, SolarWinds, and Verizon Roll Out New Solutions—Here's What They Mean07:59 Think AI Search Is Reliable? 60% of Its Citations Are Wrong09:14 AI in the Boardroom?

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview a very, very, special friend, Christopher Wink, Co-founder and CEO of Technical.ly.Chris discussed his upbringing in a rural corner of Northwest New Jersey, which lacked exposure to technology and entrepreneurship. Despite not coming from a family with a background in journalism or entrepreneurship, Chris shared how his parents' traits—his father's ability to talk to anyone and his mother's love of questions—fostered his interest in journalism. His journey into journalism began unexpectedly during his time at Temple University, where he was introduced to the college newspaper. This experience ignited his passion for journalism and provided a foundation for his entrepreneurial pursuits.Chris explained the origins of Technical.ly, a digital news outlet covering the intersection of technology, community, and business. Technical.ly began in late 2008 as a small project with two friends, conceived during a time of uncertainty as they realized traditional newspaper jobs were becoming scarce post-recession. Although Chris downplayed the initial risks involved, he acknowledged that the real entrepreneurial challenges and risks came later as the business grew. He emphasized that the true spirit of entrepreneurship lies in the mental and emotional commitment to building something meaningful, even when practical circumstances are less than ideal. Witness how Christopher Wink turned curiosity into impact, transforming ideas into the next big thing in journalism on this episode of The First Customer!Guest Info:Technical.lyhttp://technical.lyChristopher Wink's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christopherwink/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

You have to be hiding under a rock and not listening to not know that Trans voices are under attack which only means, the entire queer community is under attack. Giving voice to the Trans community, TJ Billard shares their new book Voices For Transgender Equality: Making Change In The Network Public Sphere. This is great episode to learn about why and how to support our trans brothers and sisters. About TJ TJ Billard is an Assistant Professor and William T. Grant Scholar in the School of Communication and, by courtesy, the Department of Sociology at Northwestern University, where they are affiliated with the Institute for Policy Research and the Institute for Sexual and Gender Minority Health and Wellbeing. Outside of Northwestern, they are the founding Executive Director of the Center for Applied Transgender Studies in Chicago—the leading academic organization dedicated to scholarship on the social, cultural, and political conditions of transgender life—and Editor-in-Chief of the Center's flagship journal, the Bulletin of Applied Transgender Studies. Billard's research spans political communication, the sociology of social movements, and transgender studies, with a primary focus on the relationship between media and transgender politics in the United States and United Kingdom. They also conduct research on typography and graphic design, with an emphasis on the role of design in political branding. Billard is the author of Voices for Transgender Equality: Making Change in the Networked Public Sphere (Oxford University Press, 2024). The book offers an insider's view into transgender activism during the first two years of the Trump administration, during which trans people were thrust onto the center stage of US politics. Drawing on extensive on-the-ground observation at the National Center for Transgender Equality, Voices for Transgender Equality shows how these activists developed an unlikely blend of online and offline strategies to saturate a diverse ecology of national news outlets, local and community media outlets across the country, and both public and private conversations across multiple social media platforms with voices in support of their cause. Billard is also co-editor (with Silvio Waisbord) of Public Scholarship in Communication Studies (University of Illinois Press, 2024). Taking the position that “public scholarship” should not prioritize publicity for scholars and their ideas, but rather should prioritize serving the public good in ways that go beyond conventional scholarly work, the volume brings together an all-star cast of public scholars to offer both critical meditations on the role and importance of public scholarship in communication studies' various subfields and “how-to” guides for enacting public scholarship. Billard's current research project, tentatively titled Cisinformed: Disinformation and the Media War on Transgender Rights, focuses on the central role of misinformation in anti-transgender movements' political strategies in both the US and UK, why these strategies work, and what can be done to curb misinformation's influence on policy and public opinion. This research is supported by a five-year award from the William T. Grant Foundation's Scholars program. Billard's research has appeared in a number of prominent academic publications spanning several fields, including Communication Monographs, Digital Journalism, Frontiers in Psychology, the International Journal of Communication, The International Journal of Press/Politics, JCMS: Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, the Journal of Social History, Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly, Marketing Theory, Mass Communication and Society, Media, Culture & Society, and Politics, Groups, and Identities, as well as in venues such as the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics and the SAGE Encyclopedia of Trans Studies. Billard received their PhD from the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism at the...

Over the past year thousands of journalists have lost their jobs as mass media news organisations struggle to make ends meet. Ad revenue is down, many publishers are struggling to gain subscribers, and social media has resulted in plummeting traffic to homepages. More than a third of people worldwide say they sometimes or often actively avoid the news, many citing their mental health and concerns that they can't do anything about the problems reported. Meanwhile advancements in artificial intelligence promise rapid changes to the way journalism is done. So, what's the future of journalism? Shaun Ley is joined by:Emily Bell, director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School Benjamin Toff, assistant professor of journalism at the University of Minnesota, a research associate at the Reuters Institute and co-author of the book: ‘Avoiding the News: Reluctant Audiences for Journalism' LaSharah S.

Voters in New Hampshire have been getting phone messages apparently from Joe Biden urging them not to take part in the state's presidential primaries. How alarmed should we be about the potential for deepfakes to derail elections? We also talk about the world's number one YouTuber, MrBeast and why Elon Musk was desperate to get him onto X.

Dan and Ellen talk with Priyanjana Bengani, a fellow in computational journalism at the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia. Her work focuses on using computational techniques to research issues in digital media. Her most recent project, published in the Columbia Journalism Review, focused on uncovering networks of “pink slime” local news outlets. There have been several iterations of pink slime sites over the years, such as the North Boston News. (There's no such place as "North Boston," by the way.) They get their name from the pinkish beef paste that is added to hamburger meat. In Quick Takes, Dan revisits Press Forward, the $500 million philanthropic effort aimed at revitalizing local news. When Press Forward was announced a few months ago, many observers were worried that a national, top-down effort might clash with local needs and local concerns. Fortunately, Press Forward is now getting involved in the grassroots in an attempt to leverage its funding and help a wide range of local and regional news projects. Ellen delves into a piece in Racket, an alternative news site in Minneapolis. (The What Works podcast with editor and co-owner Em Cassel can be found here.) Racket takes a steely-eyed look at Steve Grove, the new CEO and publisher of the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Just before taking the journalism job, Grove settled a lawsuit alleging he withheld public records from the press when he was a state government official.  

The deadly explosion at a hospital in Gaza raises many questions about how the media is covering the Israel Gaza war.

It's no surprise that designers like working on projects that allow them to fully display their creativity and talent. For Ethan Baldwin, those projects just happen to revolve around what might not be considered that exciting by others — banking and finance. That outlook is one of the foundations behind Slash and Structure, his new brand strategy and visual identity design firm.Ethan spoke about his passion for “making boring stuff less boring”, and how it's been important for him to balance his artistic skills with other aspects of a career in design. We also talked about working in-house vs. being an external vendor, and Ethan shared how his education at Oberlin and his work in the agency and financial world in NYC helped shape his perspective as a designer and an entrepreneur. For Ethan, being involved in the creative process is about more than just making something look good — it's about providing value, trusting the process, and staying connected to your craft!LinksEthan Baldwin's WebsiteSlash and Structure on InstagramFor a full transcript of this interview, visit revisionpath.com.==========Donate to Revision PathFor 10 years, Revision Path has been dedicated to showcasing Black designers and creatives from all over the world.

Journalists around the world agree that autonomy is central to their work, but what exactly is it journalists should be autonomous from, and for what should they use this autonomy? Henrik Örnebring and Michael Karlsson discuss their book Journalistic Autonomy: The Genealogy of a Concept (University of Missouri Press, 2022), which traces the genealogy of the idea of journalistic autonomy from the press freedom debates of the 17th century up to the digital, networked world of the 21st century. In a conversation with Joanne Kuai, the authors talk about what is ‘autonomy' and what it means in the context of journalism, and the journey of exploring the concept, using a theoretical framework that draws upon Friedrich Nietzsche, feminist philosophy, theoretical biology, and other disciplines. They reflect on whether the concept could be applied not only in liberal democracies but also in totalitarian regimes, and also discuss their ideals of journalism as an institution and what conditions are needed to facilitate that. Henrik Örnebring is Professor of Media and Communication in the Department of Geography, Media, and Communication at Karlstad University, Sweden. Dr. Örnebring has published widely on journalism, media history, and new media in anthologies and scholarly journals and his most recent book is Newsworkers: Comparing Journalists in Six European Countries. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Journalism Studies. Michael Karlsson is Professor of Media and Communication in the Department of Geography, Media and Communication at Karlstad University, Sweden.

Katie checks in with journalist (Deputy Editor of Impact and Innovation at the Huffington Post, Editor of Tech at Mic, Editor at the New York Times' branded content studio T Brand, Editor for Axios' in-house branded content studio, Smart Brevity Studio) and comedian, Alexis Kleinman.

Elon Musk's ownership of Twitter has inspired news headlines once unimaginable (see New York Magazine's "Elon Musk is Selling Off Twitter's Cafeteria and Furniture"). It has also created serious problems for journalists who rely on the platform for developing sources, finding stories, and driving readership. It's not safe to do journalistic business on the platform anymore, Emily Bell, founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism told Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review, in this week's episode of the Kicker. Together, Pope and Bell discuss how journalists should (or shouldn't) cope with Musk's Twitter, which Bell calls “an unstable substance,” and what might be lost if Twitter were to disintegrate completely.

In this episode, we speak with Kate de Pury, EBU Moscow's Bureau chief to get a sense of how she and her team have had to navigate the current challenges of reporting from Russia.  Kate joined the EBU as its Moscow Bureau chief in 2021.   Kate de Pury, is a journalist and news editor with decades of international experience.  De Pury's broadcast news career has been dominated by roles at Associated Press (AP) and Reuters in Russia. She has also worked as a journalist in Chechnya, Ukraine, Georgia and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) since the end of the Soviet Union. As Moscow bureau chief for AP from 2015-19 she oversaw a multimedia team and liaised regularly with local and foreign news organizations in Russia and the wider region. De Pury is a member of the Rory Peck Trust advisory committee which supports freelance journalists worldwide and has designed and launched a new online MA in Digital Journalism at Falmouth University in the UK. A dedicated ‘Russianist', she speaks fluent Russian, as well as English and French, and has thorough knowledge of the region and its history.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/katedepury

If you turned on your wireless set 100 years ago, what would you have heard? Katie Razzall looks back at the earliest days of the BBC as it celebrates its centenary, hearing how the idea of a single, national broadcaster came into being. Early broadcasts involved reading out railway timetables and mocking up Big Ben's chimes on tubular bells, but very quickly the power of wireless broadcasting became apparent. From debates about the difficulties of enforcing the licence fee to fraught deals with newspapers and live performers who feared competition and losing audiences to the newly-formed BBC, some of the discussions have never gone away. But will the BBC last another century? Guests: Mark Damazer, executive at the BBC for more than 30 years, including as controller of Radio 4; Jean Seaton, professor of media history at the University of Westminster and an official historian of the BBC; Paul Kerensa, broadcaster on BBC Radio Essex and producer of the podcast British Broadcasting Century, which tells the story of the BBC from the beginning; Emily Bell, founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School. Presenter: Katie Razzall Producer: Tim Bano

The American Dream is built on the idea that Americans end up roughly where we deserve to be in our working lives based on our efforts and abilities; in other words, the United States is supposed to be a meritocracy. When Americans think and talk about our lives, we grapple with this idea, asking how a person got to where he or she is and whether he or she earned it. In What We Mean by the American Dream: Stories We Tell about Meritocracy (Cornell UP, 2021), Taussig tries to find out how we answer those questions. Weaving together interviews with Americans from many walks of life--as well as stories told in the US media about prominent figures from politics, sports, and business--What We Mean by the American Dream investigates how we think about whether an individual deserves an opportunity, job, termination, paycheck, or fortune. Taussig looks into the fabric of American life to explore how various people, including dairy farmers, police officers, dancers, teachers, computer technicians, students, store clerks, the unemployed, homemakers, and even drug dealers got to where they are today and whether they earned it or not. Taussig's frank assessment of the state of the US workforce and its dreams allows him to truly and meaningfully ask the question that underpins so many of our political debates and personal frustrations: Did you earn it? By doing so, he sheds new light on what we mean by--and how we can deliver on--the American Dream of today. Doron Taussig is Visiting Assistant Professor of Media and Communication Studies at Ursinus College, and a fellow with the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia University. Prior to becoming a Professor he was a journalist for ten years. Tom Discenna is Professor of Communication at Oakland University whose work examines issues of academic labor and communicative labor more broadly. Learn more about your ad choices.

Aleszu Bajak, Senior Data Reporter at USA Today, discusses his reporting on social media and politics using computational methods. We talk about the types of data that data journalists are working with, how they acquire it (e.g., Freedom of Information Requests), and how they approach reporting results in a way that tells an engaging story. We also dive into some of Aleszu's recent reporting, such as Parler reactions to Donald Trump's speech on January 6th, inequalities in Covid vaccinations, and the polarization of Congressional political rhetoric on social media over time. Here are some links to the stories we discuss in the episode: 'Hope' is out, 'Fight' is in: Does Tweeting Divide Congress, or Simply Echo its Divisions? When Trump Started his Speech before the Capital Riot, Talk on Parler turned to Civil WarHow Critical Race Theory went from Conservative Battle Cry to Mainstream Powder KegAnd here's Aleszu's talk on tracking politics with data journalism - highly recommend!

As COVID-19 spread around the world, so did government censorship. The Infodemic lays bare not just the use of old-fashioned censorship, but also how “censorship through noise” enhances the traditional means of state control (such as jailing critics and restricting the flow of information) by using a flood of misinformation to overwhelm the public with lies and half-truths. Joel Simon and Robert Mahoney, who have been defending press freedom and journalists' rights worldwide for many years as the directors of the Committee to Protect Journalists, chart the onslaught of COVID censorship—beginning in China, but spreading through Iran, Russia, India, Egypt, Brazil, and even the White House. Increased surveillance in the name of public health, the collapse of public trust in institutions, and the demise of local news reporting all contributed to make it easier for governments to hijack the flow of information. Using vivid characters and behind-the-scenes accounts, Simon and Mahoney show how, under the cover of a global pandemic, governments have undermined freedom and taken ever more authoritarian control—a new political order that may be one of the legacies of this disease. MLF ORGANIZER George Hammond SPEAKERS Robert Mahoney Deputy Executive Director, the Committee to Protect Journalists; Co-Author, The Infodemic: How Censorship and Lies Made the World Sicker and Less Free Joel Simon Fellow, the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, Columbia Journalism School; Co-Author, The Infodemic: How Censorship and Lies Made the World Sicker and Less Free In Conversation with George Hammond Author, Conversations With Socrates In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are currently hosting all of our live programming via YouTube live stream.

From March 4, 2021: On this episode of Arbiters of Truth, the Lawfare Podcast's miniseries on disinformation and misinformation, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic spoke with Emily Bell, the founding director of the Tow Center for Digital Journalism at Columbia Journalism School. Emily testified before Congress last week about the role of legacy media, and cable news in particular, in spreading disinformation, but she's also one of the keenest observers of the online news ecosystem and knows a lot about it from her days as director of digital content for The Guardian. They talked about the relationship between online and offline media in spreading disinformation, the role different institutions need to play in fixing what's broken and whether all the talk about “fighting misinformation” is a bit of a red herring.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
