Specifically, the idea of source credibility just doesn't apply straightforwardly to LLM interactions. When I get info from another person I can ask: how does the content relate to their expertise? Their lived experience? Their interests and biases?

Como assim, "coragem" de fazer estudo? O arriscado é NÃO fazer estudo.
Papinho estranho.
Our kid can’t wait to hand out the valentines she* made and see the cards other kids** made, too!

É engraçado, o Neil Diamond é um desses artistas que pros americanos é parte do cânone, mas entre os brasileiros não explodiu tanto pra todo mundo.

So thanks, @joshuabenton.com , for the invitation. Hope you all enjoy the read! I sure am going to enjoy reading the other predictions.
What I also like about the Nieman predictions is that they are so fun to write!
I finally have a place for this sentence I say at least once a week: "As a good academic in the social sciences, I’m not here to provide you with clear-cut answers. I’m here to, frustratingly, give you more questions."
My prediction for 2026 is the rise of journalism for the agentic web. A new type of journalism tailored explicitly to chatbots and AI information summarizers. The agentic journalism. You can read more here: www.niemanlab.org/2025/12/the-...
🎶 It’s the most wonderful time of the year…
It's December, and that means that it’s Nieman Journalism Lab predictions season!
I really like these. It doesn't matter which are proven right or wrong; this is a chance to see what a bunch of news media thinkers are worried or excited about.
My chapter, "Interactive AI-Supported News Systems and the Transformation of Recipients’ Role", examines how AI-driven news systems are reshaping audience participation and journalistic agency,.

I’m happy to share that I have a chapter in the about-to-be-published Handbook of Artificial Intelligence and Journalism (Wiley Blackwell)!
The book, edited by Aynur Sarısakaloğlu and Martin Löffelholz, is an essential read if you’re working on AI in newsrooms or journalistic transformation.
Aprendi tudo isso na escola católica. Queria um filme que demonstrasse tudo isso com ação, música e humor quando eu era criança.
Kpop Demon Hunters é sobre enfrentar demônios externos e internos. Recomendo (apesar da dublagem brasileira ser bem fraca).
Mas uma das leituras que se pode fazer de Kpop Demon Hunters é extremamente cristã: um trio de mulheres dedicadas tenta erradicar a ameaça demoníaca por meio não só da espada, como da inspiração de outros. Falsos ídolos atraindo legiões. Pecados passados sendo redimidos por sacrifício e penitência.
Aqui nos conservadores EUA, a fantasia mais popular no Halloween entre as meninas foi Rumi, a protagonista do Kpop Demon Hunters. Também foi popular no Brasil, mas em terras brasileiras a febre foi temperada por gente que nem quis chegar perto de ver o desenho, por causa do tabu que é o demônio.
Aposto que tiraram “Demon” do nome traduzido pra não afastar o público. Mas mesmo assim, pululam nas redes vídeos de influenciadores religiosos denunciando as imagens e temas do desenho. Como se a gente já não fosse exposto a imagens de demônios, inclusive nos nossos desenvolvimentos espirituais.
Alguém precisa fazer uma reportagem (ou uma dissertação) sobre como o sucesso absoluto e mundial de Kpop Demon Hunters não vai atingir todo seu potencial no Brasil por motivos religiosos.
This is the central point of my Machine Editors class, a course in which we discuss the impact of search engines, social media, and now GenAI in the way we do journalism.
An excellent special issue (and not because I have an article in it).
Thank you to the editors, @sfuerst.bsky.social, Florian Muhle, and @cporlezza.bsky.social , and the reviewers for their incredibly insightful comments.

Enjoy!
The study examines how U.S. journalists reinterpret their values and routines to coexist with platforms that influence visibility and reach, operating within and sometimes against Google’s role as an algorithmic editor.
I just published a new paper in @cogitatiomac.bsky.social :

Parabéns, @italoalves.com
Grateful to my co-authors Diana Krovvidi and Yara Mabrouk, and to the Scripps Howard Fund for supporting this research. (5/6)
For local news, visibility is survival. More digital effort means more prominence. And more prominence means stronger communities and a stronger democracy. (5/6)
The gaps are big. Nearly all outlets have websites, but only half update them daily. Most have Facebook, but many rarely post. Just one in three has a Wikipedia page. (4/6)
Visibility improves when outlets invest in digital positioning. Updated websites, active social accounts, and even Wikipedia pages all boost how often local news shows up on Google. But all of that costs money, time, effort, know-how, and human capacity. (3/6)
Google is the main gateway to news. Yet in our algorithm audit, Maryland local outlets appeared in results *about local news* only 14.5% of the time, and reached page one just 20% of the time. Even for local searches, national outlets dominate. (2/6)
Local news keeps communities informed and governments accountable. But in a digital world run by Google and social media, many outlets are almost invisible. Earlier this month at #aejmc25, I presented a study that asked: why? (1/5)
UMD's Howard Center knocking it out of the park again!
Our 4-year-old calls spotted lanternflies “squish bugs”, because “it's the only bug that's ok to squish”, so I'd say we're raising a good Marylander.
