[T]he bromide of just being balanced is a terrible dereliction of journalists’ first defining responsibility of reporting the truth. Soon-Shiong apparently would have the Times deliver an on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand presentation to readers. But there is no “other hand.” Trump is an inveterate liar, and journalists have a defining responsibility to call that out."

Rather than asking the experts in their institutions who think about technology and society, or about how to write well, or about the history of technology and capitalism to weigh in on a thoughtful, informed response, administrators have been outsourcing their reactions to the GenAI hype machines.
Because actually showing the power of critical thinking would ruffle too many feathers. Instead, let individual instructors flap ineffectively.

From Heesoo Jang: "South Korea’s struggle is a powerful reminder that democracy is not self-sustaining—it requires active vigilance. The protests and demands for reform exemplify how civil society can confront governance failures. The world deserves more context and a nuanced understanding from international journalism about what South Korean democracy is facing, as its fight for justice, transparency, and the rule of law holds lessons for all democracies."
