As local news has shrunk, those stories have often been eliminated.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We\u2019re going to provide them thanks to the power of artificial intelligence and the discerning eye of a human editor through an experimental feature we\u2019re calling <a href=\"https:\/\/9thstreetjournal.org\/tag\/the-10th-street-journal\/\">The 10th Street Journal<\/a>. Every weekday, 10th Street will carry a few short stories that will provide you with news from around Durham. Stories such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Government actions that affect how you work and play such as road closures, airport news and activities at local parks.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Announcements about upcoming meetings of government boards and commissions.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Community events such as festivals and celebrations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The stories will be generated by AI from news releases or other official sources, which will enable us to produce them more quickly and efficiently than if we relied on a student journalist. They will be reviewed by 10th Street Editor Joel Luther for content, accuracy and style before they are published. They will carry the 10th Street Journal byline to indicate they were created by AI.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We named the new feature 10th Street to invoke the name of our publication, but it also is a wink to the fact that we are using AI. (There is no 10th Street in Durham \u2014 as far as we know!)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like many of our readers, we are unsure about the future of AI in journalism. We know it can produce errors and needs a human touch. But we also believe it can be harnessed to fill a void in local journalism. We are excited to be on the leading edge of this new effort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bill Adair, Editor<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alison Jones, Managing Editor<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The 9th Street Journal<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week we\u2019re introducing a new feature to provide you with coverage you probably don\u2019t see anymore \u2014 articles about road construction, event announcements and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[269],"class_list":["post-12027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-the-9th-street-journal","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
