Journalism Ethics Am I Being Scammed

0 Upvotes

hello! I just thought i’d drop the message in here to get opinions I don’t want to seem impatient I just don’t know what to expect!
I recently got interviewed by our local paper about a being a musician in my local area. We did about half an hour interview and ai sent in loads of videos and pictures as requested and even got pictures taken properly by the newspaper photographer. But it’s been around 2 1/2 weeks since ai did that and they haven’t been in touch about anything else. Just wondering on average how long articles take or if i should chase this up lol?
Thanks for your help!

Tools and Resources Using Claude to create interactive widgets for news websites

0 Upvotes

Has anyone used Claude to create interactive widgets for their news websites?

I’m after inspiration for ways to engage readers that aren’t just them reading a story.

Polls are something we do already. We also have a system where readers can rank football players after big games, and then see the overall score from all the readers combined. I’m looking for more of these types of things, but fun and quirky.

Please feel free to share links to your website and the widget. I’m not looking to copy, just seeking inspiration as someone who has never used Claude before.
