It has been about a year since my views on using AI as a journalist were transformed after a 3-day course at Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY. Since then, I’ve integrated AI-powered virtual assistants like ChatGPT into various aspects of my personal and professional life, from revising and editing pieces of writing to assisting with my French learning or generating sets of keywords for tags on YouTube videos based on a given title and description.

Instagram’s “Add Yours” sticker template enables users to pin elements of an Instagram Story before publishing, allowing other users to share their own versions of it, including text, emojis, videos, or photos. This sticker has become very popular on Stories feeds, with users sharing their favourite movies, personal traits and causes they support.

As a journalist and digital media professional with expertise in social media management that wants to apply my skills in news organizations, these are difficult times to find a job. Canada, where I lived and worked for more than four years now, is a cautionary tale for news organizations around the world on what can happen when most of your traffic relies on third-party social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, and is suddenly gone.
