Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Congrats Karin… the never seen news Director has driven out another reporter. Rachel Just — who was our shared state Capitol reporter — just announced she was leaving… making even fewer reporters contributing to WEYI’s “newscasts”. When will this insanity end? Just turn out the lights for good.

Re: Another one bites the dust
"Another one bites the Just" was simply laying there, I do pity the young who think there's a career-length path possible in broadcasting, particularly with AI as a most valid "thing." I see MAB promos touting the variety of jobs the industry holds for them and do grimace a bit.

Trophy: I like your title, play on words so much better!
I don’t think AI will replace real journalists— AI needs something to pull from to create its AI-generated stories. It can’t cover in real time breaking news. (At least not right now.) Plus there’s a trust factor that I think will be a driving factor for the top sources of news that AI can’t compete with. AI will definitely change the way we get News and analyze information— but I think it’ll be more akin to News pre-internet versus post-internet.
As for Rachel… I hope she is leaving for a station group that actually values journalism.

Re: Another one bites the dust
Corporate consolidation is more of a drag on the industry, for talent's sake than AI at this point, but we shall see. "Don't forget your slant for 'Market X, Y or Z.'"
