A great event in service of great journalism in #Canada! Thank you @pressforward_ca for putting on a fantastic summit. The future of news is bright!
This past weekend, @jhrnews was proud to take part in @PressForward_ca’s Future of Independent Media Summit in Ottawa – a vital conversation about how we can move from crisis management toward sustainable growth in the journalism sector. JHR President @Rachel_Pulfer joined fellow media leaders to discuss how public policy, capacity building and innovation can work together to strengthen independent journalism. Drawing on JHR’s global experience, she highlighted the need for both supply-side support -- through training, grants and accelerators -- and demand-side strategies to combat disinformation and foster greater media literacy. Events like these remind us that independent journalism in Canada has a future -- and it’s being built right now by dedicated, creative and collaborative media professionals across the country.

Our opening panel - AI in and for the newsroom - is kicking off a conversation that many publications are having about artificial intelligence. "A lot employers, they're not sure what it looks like either. There's a lot of fear." - @RandyLKitt

.@ByNikitaRoy says she see a move from "fear to innovation" when she works with newsrooms to train them on how to use AI. @parismarx sees a similarity between the current AI moment and the pivot to vide: "Now with generative AI, we're seeing a new version of that."
