When President Donald Trump made the decision to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House because of perceived negative coverage, (a move that would backfire a few days later when a judge intervened), he might not have envisaged witnessing solidarity from another network he assumed was his own natural ally. CNN is one of five networks that constitute a rotating pool
I lost my $2m book deal because people mistook my African dialect for AI (opens the original)

It takes months, even years, to write a book. It takes AI-detection software two minutes to ruin your life’s work.” That’s how Jerry Falade begins an essay he’s publishing later this week – an essay, he says, which is one of the hardest he’s ever written. Falade is the young Nigerian PhD student who last month saw his debut crime novel, Call Me, I’ll Hide the Body, ignite a $2m bidding war – only for it to be withdrawn from submission by his agent after allegations surfaced that he had used AI t
Is this Americaâs Jason Arday? The Black novelist in an AI scandal (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the 2023 satirical movie American Fiction, the joke is that My Pafology, the âraw and realâ manuscript by Thelonious âMonkâ Ellison, only becomes valuable when white publishers believe it emerged from authentic Black suffering rather than academic satire.

If they were going to protect their congregation at Westwood Community Church in suburban Minneapolis, they needed to meet fire with fire, the Brit figured. “When seconds count, the police are minutes away,” he liked to say; in those first 90 seconds of an active shooter situation – when
Influencer war overtakes summer fun on Nantucket (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NANTUCKETT, Mass. — It’s 7:45 am. Inside The Landing Cafe, just a few steps from Hyannis Harbor, blonde 20-somethings in Parke sweatshirts carrying identical canvas bags are milling about, eyes glued to their phones, waiting to board the Nantucket ferry. There’s a rough hour-long ride ahead — the storm clouds portend choppy seas and 47 mph wind gusts. Ironically, I’m heading to the island to find out about a storm of a different kind — one that’s been brewing between social media influencers who
