It’s important for journalists and media professionals to be transparent about how they use AI. That’s why I’ve created my own personal AI policy, and am sharing it publicly.

I watched the Jubilee video "1 Black Conservative vs 20 Black Liberals" and, ignoring politics, some things the subject was unaware of (origins of race, policing, medical racism, etc.) are explained in "Relics of Racism." I also just updated the Language sec vincedixonportfolio.com/2025/02/24/c...

I've been thinking a lot about AI. I'm kicking off a writing series in which I explore the use of AI as a journalist, storyteller and multimedia professional. This is the first, looking at the AI debate and the role nuance could/should play. vincedixonportfolio.com/2026/07/31/a...

Assuming this map was in fact made with AI, it's a reminder that no matter what you generate with AI (text, image, video, data, code, etc.), you MUST scrutinize, review, fact check and edit the results!

I'm old enough to remember when Biden gave a prime time speech on the rise of extremism and collapse of democracy, but major networks flat-out refused to air it. Today, a couple are airing an ambiguous Trump speech presumably sharing election conspiracies. www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

I get it's a local/New Orleans thing, but I still can't believe ABC just allowed blackface on live TV in a 2026 celebration of American history.... #Disney250 #America250

Not surprised BB has reignited its X (or the comments by its employees). CBS/Paramount is in a new era ATM. We've yet to see how much this era will completely affect BB. I'm still nervous about the cast reveal, given the quota changes, esp since I don't follow survivor. #BB28
I don't think I believe the current big #BB28 rumor because CBS has pretty much locked that season in a vault and have thrown away the key. I don't think they want people going back to watch it.... but who knows.
I've always suspected some ulterior motives, but was not expecting: "a signature strategy of leaders who exhibit narcissistic qualities. They see any kind of remote work as a threat to their authority and admiration. They want to be worshiped at the office altar." 🫢 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/22/o...

Locking in my #BB28 prediction that we will finally get a superfans season (SFs vs vets). All newbs will be superfans.
Pink did well hosting the #Tonys I really thought CATS would take Best Revival Overall, this felt like one of the best produced/directed #TonyAwards in a while.

Businesses and public spaces that have the capability of providing publicly accessible restrooms, refusing to offer them or keeping them locked/closed should be considered a form of cruelty.
Was #Spirit ever really an "affordable" airline? The tickets were "cheap," but there were a ton of low-key upcharges for basic things when added up made the final price similar to other airlines. Unless you were traveling with NO bags and remembered to check in super early, it was no huge deal.
Um...well...this is why I essentially stopped watching them....after it became apparent that these were more idolizing odes put out by people too close to the story, rather than genuine bios. It's also probably different for people who aren't coming into the movie as diehard fans of the eras.

The questions at the post-dinner press conference are all rooted in the assumption that this was a politically motivated assassination attempt, after the president and officials have already told the room they are still investigating the suspect and their motives. #WHCA
Vince Dixon@vincedixon.bsky.social · 4mo agoA lot of people, including journalists, have assumed this was an assassination attempt targeting the president, but other than the fact that the president was in attendance, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of that. Journalists need to be mindful of that.

A billl making its way through Congress aims to put restrictions on "large institutional landlords" buying up apartments, but data shows such landlords are actually rare-more of a local issue than a national one. And there's a chance the homes they give up will just go to smaller investors, not you.
