In-person workshop, June 28
This free, one-day workshop will give Washington, D.C.,-area journalists a chance to connect with RAND’s top AI experts in sessions that examine AI and social bias, the workforce, misinformation, and the industry interests that will shape government regulation.

Shut out by powerful people? Here's what journalists can do.
Journalists are increasingly being shut out of their efforts to cover public business and hold officials accountable.
That's why Poynter convened a group of experts to engage in a discussion about this phenomenon and provide insights into what journalists can do about it.
Their key takeaways were released this week in “Shut Out: Strategies for good journalism when sources dismiss the press,” ([link removed]) which makes the case that growing adversity from public officials toward journalists is damaging not just to the journalism industry, but detrimental to the public trust.
