Pull Quotes – S8E5 – Who Gets Silenced? – Part One
from Pull Quotes
Revisiting the past through a critical lens can better inform how journalists stay accountable. Episode Description Silence can operate passively or actively and challenging one form does not necessarily alleviate the other. Part 1 of Who Gets Silenced is a trip down memory lane to reconsider the importance of the journalistic bygones of the past. Keeping the record straight demands careful maintenance that ensures silencing doesn’t repeat patterns of the past. Speaking with Astrid Lange from the Toronto Star Library Archives, the issues of data preservation in the modern day is an immediate example of how the idealistic transparency of modern news reporting might not be all it seems. Exploring the pitfalls of generative AI in not only silencing those who it misrepresents, it raises an even deeper question of how its mere presence calls into question the authenticity of journalistic artifacts that the practice of archival upkeep exists to preserve. A studied approach towards the past and a researched keeping of the track record methodology to new journalistic projects can work against the silencers that are forged in the framework of the digital age.
