I had the pleasure of recently hosting a highly engaging panel discussion on the impact of GenAI in modern journalism at the Axel Springer Haus in NYC. Top newsroom leaders from ADWEEK, Axios, Business Insider, Harvard Business Review, and POLITICO, shared candid thoughts on the topic with FleishmanHillard's own Ephraim Cohen. Some key highlights: 📰 Aja Whitaker-Moore, Editor-in-Chief of Axios: Emphasized the need for trust and expertise in leveraging GenAI for unique reporting. 📰 Cadie Thompson, Executive Editor of Business Insider: Discussed using GenAI to enhance productivity and maintain journalistic integrity. 📰 Ryan Joe, Editor-in-Chief of AdWeek: Stressed the importance of understanding journalism before integrating AI tools. 📰 Francesca Barber, Executive Newsroom Director of Politico: Focused on transparency and maintaining trust in AI integration. 📰 Adi Ignatius, Editor-in-Chief of Harvard Business Review: Shared insights on developing a proprietary AI model to ensure accuracy and reliability. This insightful event also accompanied the release of FleishmanHillard’s study on the current state of GenAI in newsrooms, developed by Michael Steavenson. It’s clear that while GenAI brings transformative potential, the essence of journalism—trust, expertise, and ethical integrity—remains paramount. #Journalism #GenerativeAI #FleishmanHillard #AI #MediaInnovation #TrustInNews #EthicalJournalism #TechInMedia
