Shaun Davies has had quite the career, from crime journalist at the Sunday Telegraph in Sydney to editor of BBC Australia online to building and moderating the news app in the bottom left hand corner of your Microsoft Windows machine!

Shaun was there at the death of print journalism, the birth of digital journalism and is now guiding newsrooms through the painful labour of AI journalism. But, is journalism made with AI for real? Are fake presenters the future? And if so, how can we trust anything we ever see, read or hear again?

In this conversation Shaun goes deep on everything from producing AI podcasts for country newsrooms right up to being appointed independent reviewer for the mis-and-disinformation code in Australia.

To Do List

My recommendations for new things to read, watch, look at, listen to and do this week:

* I’ve been mad-busy trying to hit every deadline before my holiday next month and, as such, have been looking for some light relief in the evenings as opposed to my usual diet of dystopian hellscapes. That’s why I am going to recommend ‘Four Seasons’ written by and starring the gorgeous and talented Tina Fey. At just haf-hour per episode even I can keep my eyes open to enjoy it.

* My fave album of the year so far is ‘If We Have A Future’ by Lone Kodiak who have already surpassed themselves with latest single ‘Reptilian’ 🤘😝

* And listening to Lone Kodiak led me to Black Map who are also keeping my from going insane in the Singaporean summer heat:

Am off to see Thundercat at The Esplanade on Thursday but that’ll do ya for now! Cheers, Nx
