Found out this morning that my first bot for Hearst Newspaper, Producer-P, is a finalist for an IMNA Global Media Award.

Not too shabby for a project I built out on my weekends at coffee shops around San Antonio a year ago.

Shoutout to Randi Stevenson, Tim O'Rourke, Evan Wagstaff and Brittany Schell for supporting me throughout the process of rolling it out.

If you're planning on attending #NICAR24, reach out to me if you'd like to learn more about the project!

Going to #NICAR24 next week? I just created a GPT that helps you find your way around all 207 sessions.

The information is based on Investigative Reporters and Editors's PDF guide.

Let me know what y'all think!

The delayed websites include X’s online rivals Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky and Substack as well as Reuters and the New York Times, all of which Musk previously has singled out for ridicule or attack.
