Introduction to AI Tools
Tuesday, September 26 | 4:00 pm – 5:15 pm Eastern Time
We’ve been using AI tools for years and haven’t even realized it. But the influx of tools flooding the market in 2022 and early 2023 raise opportunities as well as ethical and legal concerns. In this combination presentation/workshop, we’ll approach AI with “cautious curiosity” and learn how to harness the tools to save you time and work. We’ll work with MidJourney and Adobe Firefly to create photo illustrations; design graphics and charts using ChatGPT’s Daigr.am plug-in; use ScholarAI to do deep research and turn it into a Twitter thread. We’ll also demo text-to-audio tools and explore some pitfalls of AI tools and the issues surrounding them. Visit https://journaliststoolbox.ai/ for more information. Hosted by: Mike Reilley, UIC

ATTN: Commercial and noncommercial full power TV, Class A, LPTV and AM and FM stations
As you may know, 2023 is a biennial ownership report filing year. Back in 2021, the FCC asked organizations associated with TV and radio stations to do additional outreach to remind them of the deadline.
In terms of this making a difference, in 2019, the FCC found that 1300 stations didn’t file reports. In 2021, there were only 374 stations that failed to file. That’s a big improvement, and something that may be saving college stations thousands in FCC fines, legal fees and more. The types of stations that failed to file include Commercial LPTVs (64), AMs (125) and FMs (67), as well as 118 FM NCE stations. All other station types were fully compliant! Read More…
