AI Literacy and Verification at Speed

Treat AI as a brainstorming partner, then verify everything the old-school way. Cross-check names, timestamps, and locations; call the source; triangulate with public records. Comment with your go-to prompts that consistently surface credible leads.

AI Literacy and Verification at Speed

Check lighting inconsistencies, lip-sync drift, and odd room acoustics. Run frame-by-frame analysis and reverse-image searches. When seconds matter, keep a checklist handy and a colleague on standby. Share your emergency deepfake detection workflow below.

Frame your subject within a central safe zone, mind headroom, and avoid edge-critical graphics. Record high-res and protect clean space for vertical crops. Drop your favorite dual-framing hacks for reels and broadcast packages.

Community Engagement and Platform Intelligence

Tag questions for follow-up, track recurring concerns, and invite viewers to send documents securely. We once built a landlord accountability series entirely from audience tips. Drop a comment thread that changed your reporting agenda.

Community Engagement and Platform Intelligence

Write teases that honor facts, not hype. Pose a clear question, show one compelling visual, and promise a specific payoff. Share a caption that outperformed without sensationalism—and tell us what you learned.

Ethics, Safety, and Mental Resilience

Before airing sensational footage, ask who benefits, who’s harmed, and whether coverage validates manipulation. When in doubt, contextualize or hold. Comment with your red-line rule for not airing dubious material.

Ethics, Safety, and Mental Resilience

Use password managers, hardware keys, and encrypted backups. Separate personal from work devices when possible. In hostile stories, assume devices are compromised. Share a security habit that became second nature in your workflow.

Ethics, Safety, and Mental Resilience

Offer control with consent checks, avoid loaded adjectives, and pause when emotion peaks. Debrief with colleagues after tough shoots. Which self-care ritual helps you reset after covering grief-laden stories? Inspire someone in the comments.
