MP - Institute of Digital Fashion

LO1, LO2

The Institute of Digital Fashion is a digital platform implementing technology into the fashion industry in order to create more inclusive platforms beyond the bounds of binary fashion communication. It positions itself as a platform which:

'uses technology as a democratic tool for change, creating the culture of today for the community of tomorrow. IoDF is building a platform that advocates for people and the planet, driving equity share options and pivoting the ownership model to support the creators economy. Since its launch in 2020, IoDF has become the backbone of innovation in fashion, shifting the global arena via activations that create lasting impact. Building world class experiences at cultural moments in high fidelity, IoDF provides 360 digital solutions, strategies and innovations via AR, CGI, UX, digital try-ons, research papers and Web3 consultancy.'

The practice of the institution is incredibly relevant to my current project and at the forefront of contemporary visual communication. Working with a number of high profile clients such as Conde Nast, Adidas and Balenciaga, it is clear that this new approach to fashion communication is successful in attracting new audiences, especially those who may not conform to binary gender identities.

Their aesthetic also feels highly contemporary and in line with trends of hyper-digital aesthetics and could provide inspiration to me as to how to create a potentially more commercially-viable version of my aesthetic. This will allow me to diversify my portfolio more effectively as well as push my skillset.

The IoDF's practice and ethos remind me of my project for D&AD in Level 5 in which implementing 3D fashion allowed for people with divergent gender identities to feel included in the process of second-hand clothing. Reflecting back on Style Studio, the visual identity needed more development in order to be successful.

How regional newsrooms can use AI to protect the ‘lifeblood of local journalism’

Regional journalism experts appear optimistic generative AI can help their snowed-under newsrooms.

By João Santos for Press Gazette 

A WAN-IFRA survey has found that half of newsrooms are already deploying generative AI in some form or another.

Large language models quickly garnered the attention of Reach, Buzzfeed, Conde Nast and other publishers across the globe over the past six months for its potential to streamline editorial processes.

In particular the free-to-access ChatGPT has fast shown its potential to reinvent the way content is produced and journalism is done. But in local news outlets hard-pressed for time and staff, is the adoption of AI likely to be an opportunity or a threat?

AI vs the humans in local journalism

A number of UK regional news publishers have already realised that AI-generated news stories could free up journalists to concentrate on more meaningful reporting.

Duncan Williams, the managing director and proprietor of Pulman’s Weekly News in south east Devon, said: “AI has got huge advantages to help journalists, particularly in the regional sector, but it’s not yet at a level where it’s going to be able to write nitty-gritty stories.”

Rather, he said he believes the more in-depth stories produced by human journalists will carry increased significance. He wrote an op-ed in his newspaper last month emphasising the importance of human bylines for trust.

“As an editor, I would not dream of publishing a story by someone I did know the name of or who was not a trusted and credible human source,” he said. “Bylines not only protect my readers, but they also hold journalists accountable for their work.”

Dr Joy Jenkins, an assistant professor of Journalism at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, has worked extensively on how new technologies can be sustainably introduced into local industries.

She said: “AI can be used on more basic types of reporting in order to free up journalists to do the more investigative, in-depth types of stories they’d like to do but don’t always have the time and resources to produce.”

Eliz Mizon, a media writer and communications lead at Bristol Cable, believes AI could help local journalists carry out important “institutional accountability and community cohesion” roles, potentially reversing a trend that has seen around 300 local newspaper title closures since 2005 and left others hanging by a thread.

Will AI help or hurt regional journalist numbers?

A recurring worry that crops up in discussions of AI and news is whether the technology will end up replacing journalists, particularly in light of the economic headwinds that have encouraged many publishers to lay off staff in the past year.

Jody Doherty-Cove, Newsquest‘s special projects editor, is currently at the forefront of developing, coding and implementing AI tools for over 180 newsrooms across the UK, having just helped the Gannett-owned publisher establish its first AI reporter positions.

He explained: “A common misconception in the public discourse is the notion that AI, like some malevolent force, is poised to supplant human journalists in a ruthless bid to cut costs.

“Local journalism is a craft that requires investigation, relationship building, and nuanced understanding – elements that no machine, no matter how sophisticated, can truly replicate.”

Dr Jenkins agreed, explaining that AI should be seen as a “really affordable and helpful” tool which, if used properly, can be an “extremely effective way for local journalism to maximise its resources”.

Pulman’s owner Williams added: “It would streamline both the numbers of staff required to run our titles in an economic fashion and also the actual revenue streams that are the lifeblood of local journalism.”

This is the approach that Kallum Gethins, managing director at Dorset News and editor at View From Weymouth, has taken when incorporating AI into the running of both publications.

“If we find a story, we gather the facts, make a short sentence and then bring that into the AI software which produces a three to four-paragraph article, we proofread it and publish it,” he said. “The whole process takes about ten minutes.”

Much like the advent of social media and citizen journalism, AI could therefore lower the barrier of entry into the industry, making quality and consistency more affordable.

Gethins said: “I think that all organisations should implement AI because it could help their business massively, especially if the organisation is brand new and can’t afford journalists. For instance, we probably won’t be using AI-originated content in the long term and will look for potential journalists to join our franchise.”

The challenges ahead for AI in local journalism

As automation seeps into the media industry, the utility of AI in local journalism could be as far-reaching as the industry demands.

As well as editorial tasks, Dorset News’ Gethins has begun using different AI software engines for administrative work, for example producing email templates suited to potential investors and creating budget plans.

Automation could magnify the results of advertising campaigns and help integrate local papers more fully into social media, something which, Dr Jenkins explained, has been a historical struggle for many publications.

However there are considerable challenges to overcome before AI can be fully integrated into journalism in a way that is both ethical and practical.

Doherty-Cove said: “We must ensure that AI-generated content does not escape the watchful eyes of human editors who, with human oversight and rigorous fact-checking, can ensure AI-generated content meets their exacting requirements.”

Chatbots such as ChatGPT rely on what the user feeds into it, as the data on which they were trained is in some cases out-of-date. This means the fundamental newsgathering framework which leads to a fully-fledged story is, for the moment, outside the purview of generative AI programmes.

But as Dr David Ryfe, a professor and director at the School of Journalism and Media at the University of Texas at Austin, put it: “Clay Shirky wrote over a decade ago that it is much faster to lose something than to build something else to stand in its place. That is what is happening to local journalism.”

The Great Firewall of China: How Effective it is Curbing Information Inside China

The Great Firewall, China's Internet censorship system, existed since 2000, is known to be the "largest and most sophisticated online censorship operation in the world" (Economy, 2018). Before that, the Internet had empowered citizens in China, especially activists, to stand up and talk about the issues that is happening in China. Xi Jinping, the Chinese president believes that both the online and offline world must "reflect the same political values, ideals, and standards" (Economy, 2018). China's Firewall has blocked a lot of social media from the first, which is Google, then YouTube in 2008 and then Facebook and Twitter in 2009 (Denyer, 2016). These social media platforms were all blocked just because of posts and issues that are happening in China.

Zero-COVID Protests

Throughout the whole pandemic period, we've heard that this and that part of China is getting lockdown even until now as we are approaching the endemic stage. Recently, there was a protest in China about the zero-COVID policies. It was reported that these protests were triggered due to an incident where the firefighters rescue was delayed due to lockdown measures and had killed at least 10 and injured 9 people in a deadly fire that happened in an apartment building. Enraged by the policies' incompetency, citizens went online to protest despite the tight censorship and the consequences that come with it. Protestors had already know their way to bypass the censorship in China and considering the online platforms censorship in that country, some people chooses to communicate with people outside of China with VPN, accessing platforms such as Twitter and Instagram (Conrad, 2022), exposing this issue to the world. Another method that was used to evade censorship is with satire art, such as puns and memes (Conrad, 2022). Their actions through online and offline protests all over China has resulted in the government officials have no choice but to loosen the restrictions (Restrepo, 2022).

It took days for the censors and police to make the situation more quiet but by the time they managed to do so, media such as images and videos has already been spread all over the world's Internet and there's no stopping that. This has also enabled more people across China that are dissatisfied with the policies posting their comments online.

Lastly, activism happens when people are enraged or dissatisfied of how things are and want a change. This is also the same case for China's citizen despite the strict policies, government controlled social medias and heavy filtering. People there will still find a way to reach out to the other communities in China that are dissatisfied with the same reason to start a movement and may even raise awareness to the whole world by accessing the "Western's" social media platform.

This marks the end for MDA20009 Blog! Hope y'all have a great semester break soon and don't forget about your assignments' due and also ALL THE BEST IN FINALSS!!

Peace out ✌🏻
