Do you want AI in your local news?

If not, we need your support. 🧵

Reporters can do what AI can’t.

But McClatchy Media refuses to agree to ethical guidelines on its AI usage. With your support, we can ensure your local news is done by local reporters like these.

Six months into negotiations, McClatchy Media is continuing to push back against common sense limits on AI in news. If we don't ensure AI ethics are put in place now, it will soon be too late. If reporters don't fight for transparency for our readers, no one will.

As we bargain for a new contract, one of our priorities is preventing restrictive quotas.

THREAD 🧵

We’re bargaining for a new contract with McClatchy. While we’re working toward better terms across the board, we have three main priorities: ethical limits on AI, no story quotas & better pay.

THREAD🧵

Let's get clickbait out of local news.

We are a group of Idaho and Washington journalists, and our publishing company, McClatchy, wants the ability to punish us for not meeting arbitrary story quotas.
