Journalism and Media Studies In The News

New questions arise after a man, identified as Keith Castillo, is seen in viral videos handing out machetes, liquor, and cigarettes to unhoused individuals in New Orleans and Austin.
An aspiring influencer said he now regrets posting videos showing him handing out machetes to those who are unhoused, but welcomes the attention it is now bringing to him and his social media.
On a recent day at Sacramento native Lecho Lopez’s comic shop in the city, his 5-year-old nephew read his first word aloud: “bad.” It was from a graphic novel. There was irony in that being his first word, because Lopez credits comic books with many positive things in his life.

The discovery highlights how artificial intelligence is making fake news posts increasingly difficult to distinguish from legitimate breaking news, according to a digital media expert who warns the days of taking news at face value are over.
