As day 2 of #FOJ25 wraps up (and I am so tired...) one word that's been ringing in my ears from the morning keynote to the final panel session I joined is "trust".
#journalism
@cujournmedcul.bsky.social
Solid work on how the #logic of #social #media affects traditional #news #values, discussed today at #FOJ25
..."no religion" or the "nones", a rising trend in, eg, the UK national census. @loielee.bsky.social Linda Woodhead and others @bsasocrel.bsky.social are developing methods and tools that might transfer well to news audiences. @sethclewis.bsky.social #FOJ25 blogs.lse.ac.uk/politicsandp...

Thanks to the second keynote #FOJ25 for bringing in the concept of news-ness that #JMCQ has published here:
Bang on from Lewis that the normative dimension is rarely engaged *directly* in scholarship (eg on AI) but is often *implicit* in how we oriental our questions and interpretations. #FOJ25
Comforting to hear an expert like @sethclewis.bsky.social note that the jury's still put on whether AI enhances or detracts from journalistic productivity. (Even as he marks and theorises AI as a turn that shifts the gravitational centre of the field of journalism studies.) #FOJ25
Prescriptions from @jodieginsberg.bsky.social to protect journalism at this moment:
-do your job (don't just be a stenographer - report properly & courageously)
-show your workings (explain the enterprise to the public)
-celebrate your impact (report on the industry)
Good opening keynote at #FOJ25
In her #FOJ25 keynote, @jodieginsberg.bsky.social of Comittee to Protect Journalists highlights recent coverage from @conorgogarty.bsky.social about a zombie site pretending to be "unapologetically Welsh" news.
Nice local flavour in a very international issue. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-n...
Opening Future of Journalism conference @cujournmedcul.bsky.social , @mattwalshjourno.bsky.social starts with a tribute to journalists killed or at risk, especially in Israel and Gaza. "The silencing of journalists equates to the silencing of truth." #FOJ25
