Chris Hall @sydneydialect.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Is it just me or is it interesting that Anthropic's report on AI use in the workplace was written by a human, not by their own AI? #AI #LLM www.anthropic.com/research/lab... 020

Chris Hall @sydneydialect.bsky.social · 20/10/2025There are more than 24 journalism definitions in Australian statutes. If the misinformation bill had passed last year that would have added another 2! #Journalism #Law #MediaLaw #Journalist 010

Chris Hall @sydneydialect.bsky.social · 26/06/2025Studying internet things can be so doubt causing sometimes, especially when I don't screenshot literally everything lol. I included it in something I did in 2023, but you not remembering made me doubt my data 🥴 Thank goodness for the Wayback Machine! 000
Chris Hall @sydneydialect.bsky.social · 05/06/2025Is friendlyjordies a journalist? Jordan Shanks says no. So I did some investigating to see if he is right or not. Research findings via link. @friendlyjordies.bsky.social #Journalism #Journalist intellectdiscover.com/content/jour... 000
Chris Hall @sydneydialect.bsky.social · 27/05/2025Same event, different reporting. Why though? Is it just New media vs Old media? Looking at comments, it is clear audience members prefer one over the other. #journalism #USpol #Media #MemorialDay @meidastouch.com @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social @michaeljamesdavis.bsky.social @nytimes.com 000

Chris Hall @sydneydialect.bsky.social · 09/01/2025Maybe. I'm quite a low level academic in the space. But what I read in the policy docs, white paper, etc it is not a doubling up. Though my main interest is on what journalism is rather than what regulation, unions, etc claim it is ☺️ 000
