Troy University’s Hall School of Journalism and Communication held its annual J-Day on Tuesday, October 7, hosting 200 high school students from eight high schools across Alabama. Students attended workshops covering broadcast journalism, multimedia journalism, yearbook production and journalism fundamentals, including photography and preparing for college media programs. Haley Hust, a senior from Saint James School in Montgomery, saw J-Day as an opportunity to learn more about the field that she wants to work in. During the first workshop session, she sat at the anchor desk on the TrojanVision set and got to read from the teleprompter.  “I was really nervous at first, but as soon as I started getting into it, it really started to flow,” she shared. “I really want to do that when I get older.” WSFA 12 News reporters, Simon Schuessler and Emma Ellis, are TrojanVision alums and led a workshop on the topic of being new journalists.  “It was a blessing for me to come through the program, and I use the skills I learned in college every day,” said Schuessler. “While I cannot overstate the importance of TROY in my life, what is even more important is continuing our tradition of producing successful journalists—and

Ali al-Ahmed didn’t think that Elon Musk was responsible for the decline and fall of Twitter. Musk was another face representing an old regime. And its sins began well before Musk bumbled into Twitter HQ, in October 2022, carrying a porcelain sink. (In an attempt at humour, Musk posted a video of himself arriving at the Twitter offices carrying a sink with the caption “Entering Twitter HQ – let that sink in!”) Ahmed was a Saudi journalist and analyst living in the Washington DC area. He was a founder of the Institute for Gulf Affairs (formerly the Saudi Institute), a Saudi-focused thinktank with an emphasis on human rights reporting, and was the kind of expert – passionate, principled, always glad to hop on the phone – that journalists loved having in their digital Rolodex. For Ahmed, who over the years had many family members imprisoned by the Saudi royal family, the pursuit of human rights was a solemn task. But he also had a kind of garrulousness – breaking into asides about his children or the talking gadget he’d invented to remind them to wash their hands – that reminded one of the deeper human stakes. “Twitter is no different

Skip to main content A fun night that brought even more excitement to the Big Blue Nation. UK Athletics Ethan DeWitt serves as an editor with us here at A Sea of Blue. Although the first day of official practice is now several weeks behind us, tonight felt like the real start of the year as the BBN got their first look of the team taking the floor. With plenty of new faces on this year’s roster, there are a lot of questions about how good they can be. In a small sample size this evening, you can see why Mark Pope and plenty of others around the sport are excited to see this team take the court for their first game. A different look compared to last season with the roster construction, the open practice really showed not only this team’s athleticism, but also this staff’s attention to the defensive end of the floor. Can they take a big jump on defense to put them into that top-tier national championship contender status? That sure seems like the plan. It is fun to see some UK basketball back on our TVs. Now let’s take a look at how Twitter reacted

The social media platform X, formerly Twitter, incorrectly reported the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars. X's AI platform, Grok, generated a faulty summary stating the Chiefs won 28-24, when the Jaguars actually won 31-28. The AI-generated summary also contained other factual errors, such as the Chiefs' season record. In front of millions of viewers around the nation and beyond, the Jacksonville Jaguars achieved a signature victory for Trevor Lawrence and head coach Liam Coen by stunning the Kansas City Chiefs 31-28 on Monday Night Football. Didn't they? Well, not in the eyes of Twitter/X and its artificial intelligence platform Grok, which not only wrongly announced the Chiefs as the winners but even placed the faulty result in the Trending Topics section. The official summary from X produced multiple errors, under the heading "Chiefs Edge Jaguars 28-24 in Thriller with Travis Hunter's Highlights and Officiating Controversy." "The Kansas City Chiefs rallied from behind to defeat the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-24 on Monday Night Football, maintaining their undefeated 5-0 record," the summary began. Incidentally, the Chiefs were not undefeated even before the game, and their loss in Jacksonville dropped them to 2-3. The false AI-generated result is the latest of several

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court won’t help conservative provocateur Laura Loomer take on social media companies and their advertisers who have blocked her posts. Loomer, an influential outside adviser to President Donald Trump, has garnered significant attention for her conspiracy theories and inflammatory comments. She was banned from Twitter in 2018 for “hateful” conduct. In 2019, Facebook banned Loomer and other controversial figures as "dangerous individuals," saying it bans any user who promotes violence or hate. However, her Twitter account was reinstated after billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk purchased the platform, now known as X, in 2022. The court on Oct. 6 rejected an appeal by Loomer in her fourth unsuccessful lawsuit alleging Facebook and X conspired with advertisers to keep her from using their sites when she was running for Congress in the 2020 and 2022 elections. The bans doomed her campaigns, she said in the suit. "Social media is critical to campaigns, especially during COVID-19 restrictions that limited traditional campaigning methods like door-to-door canvassing and public events," her attorneys wrote. A federal judge in California dismissed the suit, which relied on the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals agreed
