Another incredible semester at ! From the very first day of classes in the brand new ASC auditorium to the final day of exams, our USC Annenberg community continued to inquire, innovate and lead at the global crossroads of media, technology and culture. This fall, our students, faculty and staff engaged in important conversations about the future of the sports industry, covered elections across the country in real time, explored the future of audio streaming and contributed to groundbreaking research and scholarship across their areas of study and expertise. We learned about the evolution of K-pop, campaign trail reporting, artificial intelligence, diversity and inclusion in entertainment, mental health communication and more. Grateful for our incredible community and their contributions to the future of communication, journalism and public relations.

The future of climate journalism is in the hands of the next generation of communicators that we’re training here at USC Annenberg and we have the USC Annenberg Center for Climate Journalism and Communication to help guide us. Yesterday, the center held a once-in-a-lifetime event in the Annenberg Forum featuring a conversation between Dean Willow Bay and legendary activist and actor Jane Fonda.

Fonda spoke to the USC Annenberg community on everything from the importance of climate reporting and local and national elections to how film and media storytelling can impact awareness and activism, motivating an overflowing audience to action. Following Fonda’s remarks, Los Angeles Times journalists Sammy Roth and Faith E. Pinho sat down with Climate Center director Allison Agsten, to discuss climate journalism and communication, including the importance of meeting varying audiences where they’re at when reporting on such a complex topic. Thank you to all who attended for supporting this important conversation and work!

“Generative AI poses the biggest threat to press freedom in decades, and journalists should act quickly to organize themselves and radically reshape its power to produce news,”writes communications professor Mike Ananny and New York University's Jake Parr as part of the Knowing Machines project at Harvard University's Nieman Journalism Lab.

Generative AI systems act like "stochastic parrots," using statistical models to guess word orders and pixel placements. That's incompatible with a free press that commands its own words.
