 In this episode of Open Source Data, Charna Parkey interviews Pete Pachal, founder of The Media Copilot. With over two decades of experience covering technology, Pete shares his insights on how AI is transforming media, journalism and discusses  how journalists can embrace AI as a tool to enhance their work to adapt and thrive in this new environment. QUOTESPETE PACHAL: AI is something that you control. I know, it feels like it's a wave that's coming over that it's unstoppable, inevitable. And that's true to a large extent. But at the same time, it's not, there's no there, right? There's no spark, there's no intent. (...) Never relinquish your role as the ultimate creator and person responsible for what's coming out of this thing.CHARNA PARKEY: I think that there was a point where I found myself shifting more away from media and towards individual curated newsletters because like subject matter experts in that area, I could be like maybe they're going to summarize it incorrectly, et cetera. But at least I know my theory of mind of that individual. And then when I expand that to media, I don't know who's writing what and who's shadow writing what for who.TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 - Introduction of Pete Pachal and his background in journalism and AI.00:02:00 - Pete's career journey, including his work at CoinDesk and founding The Media Copilot.00:04:00 - AI training for media professionals (journalists, PR, marketers).00:06:00 - Evolution of AI in journalism: From skepticism to ethical frameworks.00:08:00 - AI in content pipelines: Idea generation vs. post-production tasks.00:10:00 - Open-source builders needing to cater to domain experts (e.g., journalists).00:12:00 - Meta's removal of fact-checking and its implications.00:16:00 - Public tolerance for AI errors (e.g., Apple's AI summaries).00:18:00 - Consumer trust shifts away from platforms like Facebook/X.00:22:00 - Ghostwriting vs. authenticity in AI-generated content.00:24:00 - Preference for human-curated newsletters over AI summaries.00:26:00 - AI in news digests (e.g., Perplexity, Alexa).00:28:00 - Publisher AI experiments (Washington Post chatbot, TIME summaries).00:32:00 - AI's impact on click-through rates and publisher economics.00:34:00 - AI-written articles (e.g., ESPN's use case) and copyright issues.00:36:00 - Legal battles over AI training data (NYT vs. OpenAI).00:38:00 - Copyright concerns with AI-generated outputs.00:40:00 - AI search tools (Perplexity, ChatGPT) and publisher licensing deals.00:46:00 - The unhealthy impact of social media trends on journalism.00:48:00 - Post-interview discussion: Accountability in AI and media.00:56:00 - Leo's perspective as a journalist on AI adoption.00:58:00 - Closing thoughts on balancing AI innovation with industry needs.

Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, I share my personal approach to physical fitness, which includes yoga and full-body workouts at the fitness studio. I also emphasize the importance of incorporating sauna sessions to alleviate muscle soreness. Fitness, for me, is not about bodybuilding; it's about finding what works for you and making it a part of your 'me time.' I believe that fitness is akin to meditation, allowing us to clear our minds and focus on our well-being.I also discuss my current reading material, which includes a challenging book that draws parallels between societal issues from a century ago and today. This book encourages a return to seeing women as human beings rather than objects, a message that resonates deeply in our current climate. Additionally, I delve into the teachings of Joe Dispenza, whose meditations I find beneficial yet challenging due to their length and the need for focus.Throughout our conversation, I stress the importance of maintaining a positive mindset amidst the negativity that often surrounds us. I share my experiences in the media industry, which have taught me to be cautious about the information I consume. I avoid watching news and political content, focusing instead on self-improvement through meditation and reading.Music is another passion of mine, and I reveal my love for 80s music, including artists like Sinead O'Connor and Depeche Mode. I appreciate the diversity of music available today and how it enriches our lives. I also touch on my current TV shows and movies, highlighting the storytelling and artistry that captivates me.In closing, I invite you to join me on this journey of self-discovery and improvement. Let's focus on being the best versions of ourselves and helping each other along the way. If you're interested in filmmaking, I also share my insights and experiences on my social media platforms, where I aim to support aspiring filmmakers. Thank you for tuning in, and I hope you find inspiration in my journey and tips for your own fitness and personal growth.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - Physical Fitness Discussion00:01:44 - Current Reads00:05:12 - Media Consumption and Personal Philosophy00:08:01 - Current Music Playlist00:13:55 - Current TV Show00:15:08 - Movie Discussion: Asteroid City00:16:45 - Movie Discussion: Other Films and Directors00:19:16 - Guest's Social Media and Projects00:20:08 - Guest's Future Plans and Final Words

As part of an ongoing series focused on the YouTube Ecosystem (sponsored by VuePlanner) Next in Media spoke with Josh Stanley and Myra Dallas, founders of the startup Coaxial Collective and Adam Van Der Grift, better known on YouTube as the home improvement guru Haxman.  The group talked about the need in the YouTube ad market for specialty firms focused on genres like home improvement, and how mid level creators can execute brand deals without alienating their users.Takeaways:Bridging the Creator-Brand Gap – Many brands still don't fully understand creators, and vice versa.

Are we mistaking media consumption for political engagement? In this episode, Kaitlyn Schiess joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to challenge the way Christians think about politics, faith, and media. She explains why binge-watching C-SPAN or endlessly scrolling Twitter doesn't make us politically engaged—but actually forms us into people less capable of real advocacy. Dru and Kaitlyn discuss the modern obsession with national politics, why Christians ignore their local communities, and how the church provides a model of meaningful engagement. Instead of trying to "change the world" through social media outrage, Kaitlyn argues that real political involvement means knowing your neighbors, understanding local government, and prioritizing embodied relationships. They also explore the role of Christian media consumption, asking whether 24-hour news, partisan social feeds, and political influencers have become a form of secular discipleship. How can Christians discern which voices are trustworthy? And how can the church offer a healthier alternative? We are listener supported.

(This was one of my favorite conversations of 2024 partly because Tom and I both did our best Robert DeNiro impressions toward the end.) Let's talk candidly about why Gov. Josh Shapiro of PA wasn't chosen as Kamala Harris's running mate. Let's also assess the merits and potential drawbacks of Gov. Tim Walz of MN as the Democratic VP candidate. Oh, and while we're at it, how's that J.D. Vance pick working out for the Trump campaign?   We're on YouTube!  https://www.youtube.com/@politicsandreligion   We're joined by Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic and professor emeritus of national-security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, to discuss all of this and more! We get into Tom's background in a working-class family, his educational journey, and his career in academia. Tom also discusses his views on democracy, international security, and challenges in contemporary politics. We get to reflect on Tom's Greek Orthodox faith and how it shapes his beliefs, while contrasting his temperamentally and philosophically conservative outlook with the current stance of the Republican Party. Additionally, Tom offers insights on the importance of a balanced media diet in today's political landscape.

Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!  In this episode, Derrick Broze challenges traditional perspectives on voting, freedom, and the philosophies that guide personal empowerment. As a researcher, investigative journalist, and founder of The Conscious Resistance Network, Derrick brings a unique view on modern politics, questioning the motivations behind voting and exploring the philosophy of voluntarism. This conversation delves into alternative approaches to societal change that avoid the typical “false dilemmas” presented in the media.    Key Topics Covered:  False Freedom Movements: How certain movements, often rallying behind specific political figures, are built on psychological manipulation and support systems that don't align with genuine freedom.  False Dilemmas and Emotional Triggers: Examining the narratives designed to incite strong emotional reactions and debates, steering public opinion without challenging core power structures.  The Role of Principles in Awakening: Why many individuals who are going through an  awakening, haven't grounded their beliefs in a solid philosophical foundation and how this affects personal empowerment.  Voters vs. Non-Voters: Different motivations and philosophies behind those who vote versus those who choose not to, and how these choices reflect deeper values on autonomy and governance.  Voluntarism and Empowerment: The core philosophy of voluntarism, its principles, and how it opposes the outsourcing of personal power by encouraging individuals to take direct responsibility for their choices.  The Morality of Voting: How voting can lead to enforced compliance with policies that individuals may not personally support, questioning the ethics of participation in such systems.  Media Consumption and Awareness: The importance of critically analyzing information rather than passively consuming it, fostering a well-rounded understanding of issues.   About Derrick Broze   Derrick Broze is an investigative journalist, author, filmmaker, and activist dedicated to uncovering hidden truths. He founded The Conscious Resistance Network, an independent media platform for investigative journalism, and created The Pyramid of Power, a 17-part docuseries exploring global power structures.  Derrick's books include How to Opt Out of the Technocratic State and The Conscious Resistance Trilogy. He also co-founded The Freedom Cell Network and The People's Reset, both aimed at fostering community-driven change, and serves as lead writer at The Last American Vagabond.  For more, read Here Are 18 Ways Trump Supported The Swamp During His Presidency   The Way Forward podcast is sponsored by:   NEW BIOLOGY CLINIC: Experience individually tailored terrain-based health services with virtual consults, practitioner livestreams, movement classes, and more.

After an hour of discussion, we realized the recorder wasn't on. We regrouped and continued...We explored how pressure, despite its challenges, can drive personal growth when embraced. This led to a broader conversation about human connections that transcend age and cultural boundaries. We discussed how engaging in substantive conversations about life, art, and shared experiences can bridge generational gaps.Our talk shifted to the complexities of modern media consumption, from the appeal of quick entertainment to the immersive experience of watching classic films in theaters. We considered how repertory cinemas offer unique opportunities to engage with older movies. This prompted reflection on how our relationships with media have evolved over time, and the balance between engaging with thought-provoking art and enjoying lighter content.We delved into the nature of creativity, examining the fatigue that comes from intense creative work and its impact on our leisure choices. Throughout the conversation, we grappled with finding meaning in our entertainment, creative pursuits, and discussions. We kept returning to the idea that certain conversations and shared understandings seem to touch on timeless aspects of the human experience. -Ai If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Media Consumption - From Niches to Mass Audiences 

Let's talk candidly about why Gov. Josh Shapiro of PA wasn't chosen as Kamala Harris's running mate. Let's also assess the merits and potential drawbacks of Gov. Tim Walz of MN as the Democratic VP candidate. Oh, and while we're at it, how's that J.D. Vance pick working out for the Trump campaign?   We're joined by Tom Nichols, staff writer at The Atlantic and professor emeritus of national-security affairs at the U.S. Naval War College, to discuss all of this and more! We get into Tom's background in a working-class family, his educational journey, and his career in academia. Tom also discusses his views on democracy, international security, and challenges in contemporary politics. We get to reflect on Tom's Greek Orthodox faith and how it shapes his beliefs, while contrasting his temperamentally and philosophically conservative outlook with the current stance of the Republican Party. Additionally, Tom offers insights on the importance of a balanced media diet in today's political landscape. And since Tom is a 5x Jeopardy champion, we do a little Robert DeNiro-inspired Jeopardy at the end!   03:30 Tom Nichols' Background and Upbringing 07:49 Influence of Church and Community 10:49 Orthodox Christianity and Politics 19:51 Political Philosophy and Conservatism 25:49 Discussion on Israel and U.S. Politics 32:56 Debating the Choice Between Shapiro and Walz 33:49 Tim Walz: The Normal Guy in Politics 36:24 Tim Walz's Background and Achievements 40:09 JD Vance: A Controversial Figure 46:40 Kamala Harris's Electability and Political Evolution 53:29 Media Consumption and Political Discourse   We're on Patreon!
