When one side is asymmetrically untethered to facts, what does fairness look like. If fairness isnt false equivalence, how can being fair be truthful and not partisan. If fairness is not both sidesism, how can reporting fact be accuracy and not advocacy. With disinformation everywhere all at once, our theme how can journalism matter. Spoiler alert, the answer to that is right in front of you. This is how journalism can matter. The work of all the winners we honor today, thats journalism mattering. I know that was the last election. What about the next one. What about deepfakes and cheatfakes. Generative ai. Large language models like chatgpt, five and six, and all of the other looming marbles capable of spreading disinformation at scale. To deal with that disruption, of course we will need new antennae, new countermeasures, new guardrails. But we will still also need old values. The ones we honor todays winners for. Courage, integrity, independence, fairness, a fierce commitment to truth and democracy. Celebrating you winners for those values in your work is what is coming up next here. But first, we are going to take a very short break to get your main course on the table. Be back soon. [applause]
