LA Times to Introduce AI-Driven Bias Meter on Articles

Patrick Soon-Shiong, owner of the Los Angeles Times, plans to introduce an AI-powered 'bias meter' to assess the bias of article sources, aiming to provide balanced perspectives. This move follows controversies under his ownership, including blocking the endorsement of Kamala Harris, which led to staff resignations and subscriber cancellations. Soon-Shiong's initiative has faced criticism from the LA Times staff union, which defends their adherence to ethical journalism standards. The bias meter is part of his broader effort to include more conservative voices in the paper's opinion section.

"Biden's Age Problem: Demands for Better Defense and Presidential Image"

The New York Times editorial board criticized President Biden's response to concerns about his memory and fitness for office, stating that his assurances during a press conference raised more questions and eroded public confidence. The board advised Biden to "do better" in convincing the American people that he's up to the job, especially with the potential reemergence of former President Trump. It recommended unscripted interactions, town hall meetings, and regular news conferences to demonstrate his capability. The editorial concluded with a pessimistic assessment of the Biden administration's current state and the need for Biden to show the public that he is fully capable of holding office.

Global Science Journal Faces Mass Walkout Over Unethical Fees

More than 40 leading scientists have resigned from the editorial board of the science journal Neuroimage in protest at the "greed" of publishing giant Elsevier. The academics resigned after Elsevier refused to reduce publication charges, which they describe as "unethical" and bearing no relation to the costs involved. The resignations have been applauded by academics around the world, who hope it will start a rebellion against the huge profit margins in academic publishing. Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the world's scientific papers, reported a 10% increase in revenue to £2.9bn last year, with profit margins nearing 40%.

Editors Resign from Journals Over High Open-Access Fees and Unethical Price Hikes

The entire editorial boards of two leading neuroscience journals, NeuroImage and NeuroImage:Reports, resigned en masse on Monday over what they say are exorbitant article fees from their publisher, Elsevier. The group intends to launch a new nonprofit open-access journal called Imaging Neuroscience, “to replace NeuroImage as the top journal in our field,” according to a statement posted 17 April to Twitter by an account called Imaging Neuroscience EiC. Elsevier charges researchers a $3,450 article processing charge (APC) to publish their findings in NeuroImage and $1,800 to publish in NeuroImage:Reports, according to Elsevier’s website.
