I chose this image because I believe it represented the age of AI and how that is having an influence in how creators are creating content. I selected this particular image because it represented what my message was the best. I learned from this photo story that you must be selected in the kind of image that you choose because it represents the message that you are telling.

I plan to produce a podcast story about how creators are using artificial intelligence to change media, journalism, podcasting and digital storytelling. The story would focus on writers, student journalists, podcasters, designers and social media creators who now use tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, Runway, ElevenLabs and Adobe AI features to brainstorm ideas, generate visuals, edit audio, translate stories and speed up production.

This story is newsworthy because AI is no longer a futuristic idea, it is already reshaping creative labor. Pew Research Center reported in 2025 that Americans and AI experts both see artificial intelligence as a major force affecting work, creativity and society, though the public remains more cautious about its risks and benefits than experts. Gallup also reported in 2026 that generative AI is changing how artists work, but early evidence suggests that it is altering creative workflows rather than simply replacing artists.

The issue is especially important in journalism and media. The Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report 2025 found that traditional news organizations are struggling with declining engagement, low trust and changing audience habits, while AI chatbots are beginning to appear as new sources of news discovery. At the same time, Reuters reported that audiences remain suspicious of AI-powered newsrooms, especially when AI is used for sensitive topics. This creates a timely question for my podcast: Can AI help creators tell better stories, or does it threaten originality, trust and human voice?

For the Full Sail Library source, I would search databases such as EBSCOhost, ProQuest, Gale Academic OneFile or Communication & Mass Media Complete using keywords like “generative AI creative work,” “AI journalism,” “AI storytelling,” “AI media production,” and “artificial intelligence and creators.” One useful scholarly angle would be research on AI’s impact on creativity, authorship and media ethics.

For my interview, I would speak with a student creator, journalist, podcaster, photographer or digital storyteller who has used AI in their creative process. I would ask how they use AI, whether it saves time, whether they worry about originality, and how they think audiences should be told when AI is involved.

For audio journalism examples, I would study The American Life’s “My Other Self’’, which explores an AI version of a reporter, and NPR/NPR One’s personalized audio model, which shows how audio platforms use technology to guide listeners toward stories.
