Sahan Journal dives into AI with strategic goals and open eyes

1 week ago | minnpost.com | Lev Gringauz

As journalists around the world experiment with artificial intelligence, many newsrooms have common, often audience-facing, ideas for what to try. They range from letting readers talk to chatbots trained on reporting, to turning written stories into audio, creating story summaries and, infamously, generating entire articles using AI — a use case vehemently rejected by many journalists.

In “Sickle,” a play about the Holodomor, the Soviet-engineered genocide of Ukrainians in the early 1930s, a group of women try to overcome starvation while a fresh-faced ideologue struggles between her dogma and the devastation it has caused. The Ukrainian women are alone in the Holodomor, as the men have been deported, but they’re still at the mercy of a world dictated by the powerful men of the USSR. Grim, but full of tragic humor, the show feels all too relevant in 2025, said its directors.

A few years ago, when Jon Klaverkamp started writing a satirical newspaper called Big News Now, he wasn’t sure how to find an audience for it. He’d already gone the Facebook route with a previous satire project, amassing more than 9,500 followers in the mid-2010s.

Minneapolis, MN (MinnPost)The creator of "All Are Welcome Here" signs hopes a new message of unity will emerge as she pauses her uniquely progressive business.

"It is snowing, the lawns are frozen," recalled Jaime Chismar, 48, the St. Louis Park-based freelance graphic designer behind the signs.
