These folks have covered Southern IL for years with tremendous dedication. They all lose their jobs in 10 days as the newspaper sale closes out. They are all class acts. They will find work because of their talents. I don’t know what will become of news in the lower 1/4 of IL.

With several news outlets reporting that a grand jury in NYC has voted to indict former president Donald Trump, some basic reminders if you're following developments online ⤵️

So, there's A LOT of breaking news today. Remember:
1️⃣ It takes time for reporters to gather info, confirm it & then report it.
2️⃣ Bad actors try to spread disinformation preying on people's emotions.
3️⃣ It's better not to share something if you're unsure.

❌ NO: The images ⤵️ depicting former president Donald Trump being arrested during a raid at Mar-a-Lago Club, his residence in Florida, are not genuine. The images were created with AI software.

ALT Several images seeming to show former President Donald Trump being arrested along with a tweet that reads, “Exclusive: Trump arrested in FBI Mar A Lago raid this evening.” The News Literacy Project has added a label that says, “AI-GENERATED IMAGES.”

A bunch of AI-generated images supposedly showing former President Donald Turmp being arrested have been circulating recently. Remember, whether it's photoshopped or AI-generated, tracing images back to the source is the best way to test authenticity.

When I say the state of local news across downstate #Illinois is in crisis — I’m not kidding.
There’s been an exponential shrinking and wide-spread regionalization of local news that should alarm every Illinoisan.
Support those left, because one day there may not be anyone.

I was always grateful to observe and learn from reporters like @liborjany. We caught up recently over Zoom, and he shared some great insights on covering public safety, developing sources and verifying information. Check it out! 🔎
