First morning in Cambridge! 🏰🎓

Had to visit Henry VIII at Trinity College. Fun fact: in the 19th century, students stole his scepter & swapped it for a chair leg. The college just left it there! Love the history everywhere here.
Ready for a great week of #TSOJ26 discussions!

Challenging dialogue about AI in classrooms 🎓🤖

Editors demand hands-on AI training; faculty argue our main job is coaching critical thinkers first, tech users second.

Valid arguments on both sides; got plenty of ideas to bring back to #Columtreal. Hiring editors w/look for AI skills 💡

Exploring Cambridge's famous Round Church! Built 1130ish by returning Crusaders, it’s 1 of only 4 surviving medieval round churches in England. Modeled after the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. 🏰📜

Such incredible history around every corner here!

Intense discussions at #TSOJ26 today, but this changed up the pace! 🎓📣

#BCACheerCon organized a meetup for cheerleaders interested in journalism. Selwyn College knows how to host a great mixer; fantastic meeting future media minds over drinks! 🍻

Wrapping up day two of #TSOJ26 at The Eagle 🍺✨

Solid discussions on journalism, balancing political pressure, AI, and keeping the public informed. Esp. when the public does not want to be informed

Heavy topics, but solved over a good pint in Cambridge. Cheers to the free press! 🍻
