<p>Okay, cool. Thanks for the clarification. Do let him know that NOT filling in a few key details about what it is and who is behind it just raises questions and invites idle speculation (my bad there). He might also want to know that someone created a "Durham Dispatch LLC" in Canton, OH in 2022, just FYI. </p>
<p>Carry on. </p>

<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">Ziyad Habash, who is a friend of mine, is the fellow behind the Durham Dispatch. It is a relatively new site, and he is finding his way. I'm sure he would be interested in your feedback. It is NOT an AI-driven site. Ziyad may not agree with everything that he posts on the Dispatch, however, he is seeking to bring in a wide variety of voices. Where there is no by-line, I would guess that those are articles that he himself writes. He sometimes sends me drafts for comment of his own articles, which I generally find to be well-researched and thoughtful.

<p>I think you're right to be suspicious. The absence of ANY identifying info and its bare-bones structure suggest automation. The 'filters' applied to pictures for many of the articles seem weird, too. I can only speculate at this point as my cursory searches for details yield only more questions. So far, though, I'm getting a very strong whiff of AI from this Durham Dispatch operation.</p>
<p>I'm not about to click on their social media links, as I avoid that stuff like the plague that it is. Do let us know if you learn more. </p>

<div dir="ltr"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm sorry. By "byline" I mean a person with a name. All I'm seeing are links to the original work which, from the ones I have checked, are just press releases from political activist groups or NGOs. No author names are mentioned that I can see. Nothing wrong with that but I would just like to see who is behind it, like the names on the masthead or a real byline. Maybe I'm just overlooking it...</span>
