Catch the Outside the Loop Radio program broadcast from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. on WGN Radio 720 on Saturday, June 7, 2025, and online for great local discussion and profiles, including another chance to talk with host Mike Stephen about Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it impacts journalism and local news outlets like the McKinley Park News.

Mike and I shared a great talk about whether it's possible to have ethical AI, how AI theft impacts journalism and the news industry, and under what conditions a news organization like ours might choose to legally license our content for AI and LLM training purposes.

Many thanks to Mike for the chance to continue this important discussion. Tune in and listen; we'll also link up the online version here once it's live.
