"I fear we're saying too little about some of the other implications of AI. We have seen a degradation of the quality of work in news reporting. We've also seen an erosion of people's ability to make a living from news reporting."

McCullough Review highlights need for government to blow the whistle on illegal surveillance, says NUJ.
NUJ's Séamus Dooley said the NUJ views the Review as "a valuable starting point with key recommendations which, if adopted, would help ensure strict adherence to best practice by the PSNI."
