AI usage in the newsroom and a new tool for job hunting

Good morning, skim for your weekly roundup of jobs, industry readings, resources and more.

📝 A new tool for job hunting: Career and Leadership Coach Phoebe Gavin created a template that can help job seekers think about their goals, define the work they want, their top accomplishments and the types of companies they would want to work for.

🤖 ‘Writing guidelines for the role of AI in your newsroom?’ NiemanLab recently published a piece analyzing 21 newsrooms’ policies and best practices around AI and news production, including human oversight of AI, labeling of content created by AI and what AI use cases are not permitted.

🌎 What’s happening in the world of news? Last week seemed especially jam packed when it came to acquisitions, product launches and more across the country. Here’s just a few headlines that stood out to me:

• NiemanLab: “The Athletic finally shut down a newspaper’s sports desk — just not the one people expected”

• Advance Local press release via Editor & Publisher: “Advance Local will expand into Texas to cover news, sports and culture”

• The San Diego Union-Tribune: “The San Diego Union-Tribune sold to Alden Global Capital”

Thanks for reading!

P.S. Here are a few things that fueled this newsletter/me this week:

• 🤰 ‘Pregnant? Here’s how to deal with the new you’: If you or someone you know is pregnant, this comic from NPR Life Kit can help you better understand how pregnancy impacts the brain and your sense of self.

• 🦦 ‘She steals surfboards by the seashore’: Whoever wrote the genius headline on this NYT article about a thieving sea otter deserves a raise.

• 🐶 Happy anniversary to these good boys and girls: The AP shared video of hundreds of golden retrievers gathered in Scotland.
