Bob Mottram ✅<p>If it is possible to trivially produce plausible bullshit-images with the latest Googlephone then this trend is likely to work in the favour of having real photojournalists, rather than just pilfering something posted to Twitter, or wherever. That is, there is going to need to be some auditable human chain of trust between the person taking the photo and the <a href="https://epicyon.libreserver.org/tags/news" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span><span>news</span></a> site.<br><br>And this assumes that at least some organisations are trying to do real reporting in good faith, not just entertainment with torrid tales and faked pictures or minimally edited corporate press releases. This assumption is a bit of a stretch in these times of <a href="https://epicyon.libreserver.org/tags/churnalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span><span>churnalism</span></a> and journalistic <a href="https://epicyon.libreserver.org/tags/slop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span>#</span><span>slop</span></a>.</p>
