CBS News has allegedly made a $16 million agreement with Donald Trump, raising questions of journalistic integrity. Concerns extend to Law360, owned by LexisNexis, where an AI bias detection tool is now mandated for journalists. This AI tool is aimed at enforcing a neutral voice in articles, leading to backlash from reporters, who feel this decision reflects a disconnect from journalistic ethics. The situation illustrates an evolving landscape in journalism where both financial and technological pressures threaten traditional values.
The biggest story in journalism right now is that CBS News agreed to give Donald Trump $16 million in a legally blessed bribe.
Law360 has ordered its reporters run their stories through an AI bias detector designed for 'applying a neutral voice to copy'.
Journalists, represented by the Law360 union, object to this half-baked idea, which could only arise from non-journalist executive input.
The part of this story that elevates it from ominous development for civil liberties to comi-tragic is that Law360 is owned by LexisNexis.
