My first thought regarding AI is, what is there to be afraid of?

It’s all about a conversation.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. It’s a day that doesn’t resonate with most people, and I am glad most people don’t know what the day means.

Sadly, journalism is dead; it’s been dead for years. No one side has a monopoly on the truth or the lies. Yet, it would be impossible to tell based on the modern journalism landscape.

I’ve worked with several non-profits, and while most were enjoyable and worthy organizations, I’ve seen a couple that suffered because they weren’t forthright.

That politicians and bureaucrats lie — or mislead or tell mistruths, if you prefer — should shock no one. Sometimes, despite the preponderance of evidence, politicians and bureaucrats — or those who want power — will say whatever they think is most expedient at the moment.

I used to have hope for journalism. After writing for multiple publications over the years, I realize journalism isn’t merely dead. It died a long time ago.

When laser-focused on what needs attention today, we neglect to think about where we might be headed. The long game isn’t just for golf; it’s something everyone needs to keep in mind as we navigate our daily responsibilities.

Words are impactful, and I still believe they’re the best way to tell a story. That’s why I still prefer to write books, not e-books. In 2023, “journalists” must recognize words aren’t the only way to convey a message.
