AI is changing the ways newsrooms are doing ‘reporting’. And it is also changing the ways we think and feel about news. This panel will discuss examples of AI-driven reporting, editing, and content distribution, as well as the challenges of bias, accountability, and transparency in AI-generated journalism. Panelists will also discuss how AI influences audience trust, how newsrooms can incorporate AI in a way that maintains trust and credibility, and how AI might challenge our perceptions of who and what the press is.

  • Marisa Porto, Knight Chair of Local News and Sustainability, UNC Hussman School of Journalism and Media
  • Benjamin Toff, Associate Professor and Director of the Minnesota Journalism Center, University of Minnesota Hubbard School of Journalism & Mass Communication
