The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame's induction ceremony is still a week away, but Cleveland fans are getting an early look at the museum's newest tribute to this year's honorees.

Why it matters: Today's opening of the annual "Inductee Exhibit" kicks off a big month for the Rock Hall, culminating in the debut of its massive expansion and a free community day on Nov. 22.

State of play: The third-floor exhibition features artifacts representing all 18 members of the Rock Hall's 2026 induction class.

Zoom in: Highlights include the jacket MC Lyte wore to the 2006 "VH1 Hip Hop Honors," Billy Idol's jacket from Lollapalooza 2021 and one of Luther Vandross' custom Dior jackets.

• Instruments include Joy Division bassist Peter Hook's 1976 bass guitar, Gram Parsons' acoustic guitar, drumsticks used by Phil Collins with Genesis and a tambourine belonging to Oasis singer Liam Gallagher.

The intrigue: Just outside the main exhibition sits the "Wu-Tang Forever Time Capsule," a bright yellow vault filled with fan-submitted memorabilia celebrating the legendary hip-hop group.

• On the fourth floor, visitors can see two motorcycles: a 1994 Honda Fireblade featured in Queen Latifah's "U.N.I.T.Y." music video and Idol's 1985 Harley-Davidson Wide Glide.

The big picture: The exhibition opens ahead of Saturday's induction ceremony at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater.

• The ceremony will air Dec. 8 on ABC.

What's next: Cuyahoga County residents can explore the exhibition for free during the Rock Hall's Nov. 22 community day.

• The event also marks the debut of the museum's 50,000-square-foot expansion, featuring a soaring glass atrium, new entrance, expanded educational and event spaces, and public gathering areas overlooking Lake Erie.

Journalists at the Akron Beacon Journal are withholding their bylines for two weeks to protest an AI tool they say is generating false information and undermining their reporting.

Why it matters: The labor action illustrates growing tensions between journalists and corporate publishers over the use of artificial intelligence in newsrooms.

Driving the news: Members of the Northeast Ohio NewsGuild began withholding their bylines in late October after USA Today Co. introduced DeeperDive, an AI-powered audience engagement tool featuring article summaries, bullet-point takeaways and a chatbot-style search function.

What they're saying: "The overall aim is to get corporate to understand our concerns about how forward-facing AI tools affect us as journalists," ABJ reporter and Guild spokesperson Bryce Buyakie tells Axios.

• Buyakie says the tool has fabricated information across USA Today sites, including errors absent from original reporting and others that persisted even after corrections.
• "In one egregious case in October," notes a NewsGuild statement, "DeeperDive substituted the name of a murder suspect with the reporter covering the case."

State of play: USA Today Co. has subsequently suspended DeeperDive's AI summaries and restricted its availability to only a small portion of readers for beta testing, Buyakie says.

• The Guild filed a grievance Friday challenging the company's decision to restore bylines and is continuing its protest.

The other side: USA Today Co. has not responded to an Axios request for comment.

• In correspondence obtained by Axios, USA Today Co. VP of labor relations Amy Garrard told the NewsGuild the action constituted an "illegal byline strike," saying the AI summaries had already been paused.

Between the lines: The Guild's contract permits employees to withhold bylines over journalistic integrity concerns, but prohibits coordinated byline strikes for other reasons.

• Garrard told the NewsGuild its objections did not qualify as legitimate journalistic integrity concerns.

🏈 The 8th District Court of Appeals ruled last week that Glenville could not compete in this year's high school football playoffs due to student eligibility issues.

• CMSD says the ruling "brought to light the significant challenges faced by high-mobility student populations."
• "CMSD is committed to working with the OHSAA to improve its eligibility rules to ensure all scholars, regardless of their circumstances, have access to the same opportunities as other student-athletes." (Cleveland 19)

The Press Club of Cleveland inducted three local journalism veterans into its Hall of Fame last week, honoring careers spanning print and broadcast news.

Why it matters: Local journalism's influence and resources have diminished in recent decades, but the awards are an opportunity to recognize those whose work helped shape how Northeast Ohio understands itself.

Zoom in: The 2026 inductees were honored Wednesday at Edwins in Cleveland Heights:

• Stan Bullard: A longtime Crain's Cleveland Business reporter who retired in 2024 after 38 years covering real estate, development and the region's business community.
• Andy Fishman: Fox 8's vice president and news director, a 32-year station veteran and recipient of 24 local and regional Emmy Awards.
• Lynna Lai: WKYC anchor and investigative reporter who became Cleveland's first Asian American TV reporter and later its first Asian American news anchor. Her reporting helped spur a 2024 Ohio law banning unauthorized electronic tracking.

🏆 Plus: Cleveland Guardians communications executive Bob DiBiasio received the Chuck Heaton Award, recognizing journalism and communications professionals who exemplify humility and service to the community.

• DiBiasio has spent 47 seasons with Cleveland's baseball franchise.

• Did Todd Monken make the right decision to go for two in overtime, or should he have taken the tie?
