NYT got a Pulitzer for international reporting after censoring its coverage of Gaza and whitewashing Israel’s crimes. It’s hard to tell what is parody anymore.

Two of journalism’s most prestigious prizes — the Pulitzers and the Polk awards — on how they’re thinking about entrants using generative AI.
By Alex Perry March 11, 2024, 10:31 a.m.
Five of the 45 finalists in this year’s Pulitzer Prizes for journalism disclosed using AI in the process of researching, reporting, or telling their submissions, according to Pulitzer Prize administrator Marjorie Miller.
It’s the first time the awards, which received around 1,200 submissions this year, required entrants to disclose AI usage. The Pulitzer Board only added this requirement to the journalism category. (The list of finalists is not yet public. It will be announced, along with the winners, on May 8, 2024.)
Miller, who sits on the 18-person Pulitzer board, said the board started discussing AI policies early last year because of the rising popularity of generative AI and machine learning.
“AI tools at the time had an ‘oh no, the devil is coming’ reputation,” she said, adding that the board was interested in learning about AI’s capabilities as well as its dangers.
Last July — the same month OpenAI struck a deal with the Associated Press and a $5 million partnership with the American Journalism Project — a Columbia Journalism School professor was giving the Pulitzer Board a crash course in AI with the help of a few other industry experts.
Mark Hansen, who is also the director of the David and Helen Gurley Brown Institute for Media Innovation, wanted to provide the board with a broad base of AI usage in newsrooms from interrogating large datasets to writing code for web-scraping large language models.
He and AI experts from The Marshall Project, Harvard Innovation Labs, and Center for Cooperative Media created informational videos about the basics of large language models and newsroom use cases. Hansen also moderated a Q&A panel featuring AI experts from Bloomberg, The Markup, McClatchy, and Google.
Miller said the board’s approach from the beginning was always exploratory. They never considered restricting AI usage because they felt doing so would discourage newsrooms from engaging with innovative technology.
“I see it as an opportunity to sample the creativity that journalists are bringing to generative AI, even in these early days,” said Hansen, who didn’t weigh in directly on the new awards guideline.
While the group focused on generative AI’s applications, they spent substantial time on relevant copyright law, data privacy, and bias in machine learning models. One of the experts Hansen invited was Carrie J. Cai, a staff research scientist in Google’s Responsible AI division who specializes in human-computer interaction.
Le prix #Pulitzer décerné à l’écrivain #Andrea_Long_Chu est une insulte aux femmes, par #Joan_Smith

La pornographie est baignée de misogynie. N’importe quel-le adolescent-e peut facilement trouver des scènes de viol et de torture sexuelle sur son portable, ce qui modifie l’idée même de ce qui constitue des pratiques sexuelles « normales ». Cette pornographie est si répugnante que l’on pourrait imaginer que les institutions prestigieuses fuiraient à toutes jambes toute personne qui s’en réjouit publiquement. Ce n’est plus le cas, à l’évidence.
Il suffit qu’un amateur de porno associe son habitude au mot magique « transgenre » pour qu’elle se transforme instantanément en quelque chose de radical et de progressiste. Cette forme d’aveuglement culturel est si répandue qu’un auteur et universitaire affirmant que le porno violent l’a persuadé de « changer de sexe » vient de se voir décerner cette semaine le prix Pulitzer de la critique littéraire. Andrea Long Chu, anciennement Andrew, a déjà écrit : « C’est vraiment le porno de chochotte (sissy porn) qui a fait de moi un trans. »

Le 14 avril, les journalistes du Guardian et du Washington Post qui ont révélé l’étendue de la surveillance de la NSA ont été récompensés par la plus haute distinction journalistique américaine. Quelques semaines avant l’annonce, Politico exposait les dilemmes du jury.

« Je ne peux pas imaginer de choix plus approprié pour un prix Pulitzer », confie à l’AFP Mark Miller, professeur de médias, culture et communication à l’université de New York.
« Glenn Greenwald a fait ce que les journalistes américains sont censés faire : servir l’intérêt public en mettant en lumière les abus de pouvoir flagrants du gouvernement ».
Il y a une « pression énorme » sur les journalistes pour qu’ils restent dans le rang, ajoute-t-il, en dépit des lois protégeant la liberté de la presse aux États-Unis.
« Les vrais héros journalistiques dans ce pays sont généralement les non conformistes, les excentriques, ceux qui osent traiter d’histoires rejetées comme une +théorie du complot+ », ajoute-t-il.
Selon les experts des médias, rien ne prouve que les révélations sur les programmes de surveillance aient mis en danger la sécurité nationale.
Greenwald, Poitras et MacAskill insistent sur le fait qu’ils ont traité l’affaire avec beaucoup de prudence.
Selon leurs soutiens, la crédibilité du jury Pulitzer serait atteinte s’il ne rend pas hommage au scoop le plus important de ces dix dernières années.
Cela voudrait dire qu’ils « ont cédé à l’aile droite de la politique américaine ou aux conservateurs en matière de sécurité », estime Christopher Simpson, professeur en communications à l’American University à Washington.

Snowden, in a statement, said: “Today’s decision is a vindication for everyone who believes that the public has a role in government. We owe it to the efforts of the brave reporters and their colleagues who kept working in the face of extraordinary intimidation, including the forced destruction of journalistic materials, the inappropriate use of terrorism laws, and so many other means of pressure to get them to stop what the world now recognises was work of vital public importance.”
He said that his actions in leaking the documents that formed the basis of the reporting “would have been meaningless without the dedication, passion, and skill of these newspapers”.
