SUMMARY:BusinessDesk on the future of AI in journalism + meet the team
DESCRIPTION:19th July 2023\nOverview\nThere is a lot of interest in the impact that generative AI will have on all sectors\, including communications\, media and content creation. \nBut anyone who’s played around with ChatGPT knows that the content it produces can feel dry\, synthetic\, and\, well\, a bit like a robot wrote it! Its usage is also raising eyebrows around ethics\, copywrite and accuracy. \nBusinessDesk – the home of some of New Zealand’s best business journalism – is two months into a trail making use of AI to near-instantly publish NZX news\, using ChatGPT to write articles from company announcements as they are released. \nThe idea is that it allows its newsroom to concentrate on what we know they’re great at – discovering\, writing and publishing news others do not have. But is it working? How are companies and markets reacting to the initiative so far\, and what lessons can we take from it at this early stage? \nJoin us for this exclusive Q&A event at NZME’s iHeart Radio lounge. BusinessDesk Publisher and General Manager\, Matt Martel will discuss how the country’s journalists and commentators are making the most of this technology. \nAs a senior communications professional\, you understand the importance of staying on top of market trends and breaking news. But what does this mean for the future of quality-assured editorial? And how should it impact your approach? \nYour presenter is..\nMatt Martel spent 10 years in senior positions at Fairfax Media\, including as an executive editor in the company’s senior leadership team at The Sydney Morning Herald\, The Australian Financial Review and The Age (Melbourne). In 2017\, Matt redesigned Stuff’s suite of newspapers\, taking them from broadsheet to compact. He joined BusinessDesk in 2019 and is based in Auckland

SUMMARY:Plain Language Webinar – more than just words
DESCRIPTION:15th June 2023\nOverview\nPlain language is a skill. It’s about so much more than just choosing the right words. Presenting information clearly\, concisely and in an engaging way is an art form. And one not consigned to a particular industry or type of communication. \nFrom websites to annual reports\, insurance documents to technical reports and a whole host of comms products in between there is a recognised need for all communications to be more accessible\, more digestible\, and quite frankly more interesting to read. \nWith the Plain Language Act 2022 coming into force in April writing clearly and concisely is top of mind for many organisations. Across the public service\, we now have dedicated Plain Language Champions. \nSo\, if you’re one of them and want a bit of a boost and some tips on how to bring others along with you then join us to hear from the latest Plain Language Award winners and plain language champion Lynda Harris for this lunchtime webinar hosted by the Central PRINZ Committee. \nPanelists:\nLynda Harris\, Founder and Chief Executive of Write\nLynda is a communications specialist who believes that plain language makes the world a better place. Supported by her like-minded team\, she’s built a company that aims to put clarity and connection at the heart of every business communication. \nLynda believes that clear communication isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have.’ It’s essential to the smooth and successful operation of any organisation. Poor writing wastes time and money\, but it also risks losing the trust of customers. Under Lynda’s leadership\, Write has become the largest plain language consultancy in the world. \n \nPhil Belcher\, Product Manager\, Life & Disability Insurance for the Medical Assurance Society\nPlain Language Champion\nIt was a pleasant surprise for Phil to take out this award after his teammates nominated him for his significant and influential contribution to their plain language initiative. Taking a digital design concept to a traditionally print focused medium he helped turn several lengthy and jargon filled documents into one single one that is easy to navigate\, relatable and readable. \n \nAlice Moloney\, Senior Advisor – Safety and Stability\, Family Violence at the Ministry of Social Development\nPlain Language Website (Public Sector)\nJudges described www.areyouok.org.nz as an excellent example of effective plain language writing and information design. They praised the tone for being reassuring\, caring and helpful\, as well as being clear and non-judgemental. User testing helped to gauge feedback to make improvements and ensure that victim/survivors voices remained at the heart of this kaupapa to make sure the language\, tone and content of the site was right. The team also worked with family violence support providers to make sure information was accessible and relevant for different communities. \n\nKate Thompson\, Head of Communications at thinkstep-anz\nBest Plain Language Annual Report\nBest Plain Language Document — Private Sector\nBest Plain Language Technical Communicator \nKate is Head of Communications at trans-Tasman sustainability firm thinkstep-anz. She leads a team of plain language experts who ‘translate’ the company’s technical sustainability work into plain English executive summaries\, case studies\, and blogs that clients can understand and act on. \nJudges praised the work by thinkstep-anz for their simplicity\, use of plain language\, supportive graphics\, excellent design\, and tone. The conversational style is described as engaging and honest\, bringing a human element to each communication. All of this whilst still coming across as professional subject-matter experts. \nToni Raeleigh\, Product Specialist\, AA Insurance\nPlain Language Champion – Best Organisation \nAA Insurance is proud to champion the use of plain language by simplifying its insurance policies\, so they are easy to read\, understand and act on\, to help earn the trust of their customers. The organisation also says that plain language helps to put the customer at the heart of everything they do. This has been supported by user-testing which shows positive feedback from customers. More importantly\, growing customer numbers year on year demonstrate the business benefits of plain language in inspiring trust and customer loyalty.
