Three years ago we made a choice not to incrementally improve a legacy telecom, but to fundamentally reimagine what a #network could be in the age of AI. That’s why it’s especially meaningful to see @Lumen named to @FastCompany’s list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies!

@PRcarly Exactly right. AI isn’t replacing PR fundamentals—it’s rewarding them.

If you’re worried about AI coming for PR jobs, read on. A team from Princeton, Georgia Tech, and the Allen Institute for AI tested what makes content more likely to be cited by generative search engines. They ran 10,000 queries and measured nine different optimization methods. The three that worked best: - Verifiable statistics (37-40% visibility boost) - Expert quotations (~30%) - Credible third-party citations (30-40%). Read that list again if you're in PR, because that's what a good earned media placement produces. And @MuckRack's analysis of over a million AI-cited links backs this up from the other direction: 95% of AI citations come from non-paid sources. 89% from earned media specifically. So every time you place a client in a credible publication with real data and expert perspective, you’re also building the citation layer that AI pulls from when a buyer asks ChatGPT "who are the best companies in X space?" And that citation layer has a strong recency bias. For time-sensitive queries, journalistic sources account for 49% of all AI citations. Which strengthens PR’s long-standing argument for… a long-standing (sorry, couldn’t help myself), sustained and ongoing earned media strategy. PR pros have spent entire careers mastering what these systems now reward. The difference is that credibility compounds in a way it never did before.

Today, culture is strategy. In a recent blog for @Wharton, Lumen CEO Kate Johnson shares why culture isn’t a side project—it’s the work that makes transformation possible. Full blog: whr.tn/4s0v8Qr

@TrumpRealDaily 👍

Out of the 215K MAGA 🇺🇲 accounts following me, I often wonder how many of you actually exist. Give me a Thumps-Up👍, if you see this.

@brianstelter I’d like to know if the AP adapted its style guide when President Obama’s Interior Department changed the name of Mt McKinley back to Denali?

New statement from The AP: “The decision by the White House to block an AP reporter from an open press conference with President Trump and Prime Minister Modi is a deeply troubling escalation of the administration’s continued efforts to punish The Associated Press for its editorial decisions.    It is a plain violation of the First Amendment, and we urge the Trump administration in the strongest terms to stop this practice.    This is now the third day AP reporters have been barred from covering the president – first as a member of the pool, and now from a formal press conference – an incredible disservice to the billions of people who rely on The Associated Press for nonpartisan news.”

@WhiteHouse @PressSec Thanks for ditching the “binder” and bringing access, transparency, clarity, and decorum to the Brady Briefing Room. @PressSec is a real pro!!!

@Maddytx76 The Big Mag!

McDonalds should create a new burger in honor of President Trump. What should they call it?

@JoeConchaTV Getting that bump in grade and pay before leaving office.

You. Must. Be. Kidding. (they're not)

@bfraser747 Will this be part of the entertainment at Trump's inaugural ball?

What do you say?

@bfraser747 A beautiful day...!

I don’t think anyone cares. Your thoughts?

@SecretaryPete I'll bet most if not all of these EV chargers are powered by electricity, and for the majority of drivers, that power comes directly from the National Grid, not a renewable energy source.

Since the start of the Biden Administration the number of publicly available EV chargers has doubled to over 192,000. Federal funds will help states fill gaps in the network in the coming years. We're well on our way to meet—and beat—the President's goal of 500K chargers by 2030.
