However, the need to integrate AI critically and consciously is highlighted, since it is indispensable in contemporary journalistic work to ensure the quality and integrity of news content, as well as to preserve the fundamental role of journalists. Keywords:Articial Intelligence; journalism; automation; fact-checking; ethics.1. Introductione technological revolution in the 21st century has transformed every sector and profession, and journalism is no exception. Articial Intelligence (AI), dened as the ability of a machine to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, perception, and interaction with the environment (Russell & Norvig, 2020), is reshaping the media landscape in profound and multifaceted ways. From automating news generation to fact-checking, AI has begun to integrate processes that were previously exclusive to human creativity and judgment.e application of AI to journalism has gone through numerous technological developments, starting in the 60s with computer-assisted news writing, to the current “automated journalism” that uses AI to process large volumes of data and create narrative content with minimal human intervention (Caswell & Dörr, 2017). is technological advance has transformed the entire production chain, aecting the search for, production and distribution of journalistic content (Diakopoulos, 2019; Rojas-Torrijos, 2021).Although the study of the use of bots as a news service and for emotional connectivity with audiences is not new (Sánchez-Gonzales & Sánchez-González, 2017), recent studies on the treatment of chatbots in the Spanish press highlight how AI, and specically tools such as ChatGPT, have been received with a mainly informative approach, with greater emphasis on their potential applications than on the risks, and dealing with it in an eminently informative and rarely interpretive manner (Calderón & del Cid, 2024). is initial approach leads us to consider the many ways in which AI is having an impact on journalism. Another recent study by JournalismAI says that 28% of journalists already use AI tools, and 20% plan to explore the applications in the near future (Beckett & Yaseen, 2023). ere can be no doubt that these technologies are revolutionising the drawing up of content, the personalisation of news, and workow optimisation, allowing journalists to generate content with greater eciency and accuracy, as well as enhancing data collection and analysis (Carson, 2019; Vos et al., 2023; Shi & Lin, 2024). Writing algorithms and news bots free professionals to dedicate more time to the interpretation and in-depth analysis of information (Ufarte-Ruiz & Manfredi-Sánchez, 2019), improving content personalisation, something valued positively by 70% of editors (Newman et al., 2023).e speed with which we are witnessing these changes and their consequences in many professions has sparked the interest not only of companies and professionals but also of academia. Academic research has addressed the study of AI and journalism from multiple perspectives: data journalism, big data and bots (Flores-Vivar, 2019); journalistic innovation and new formats ( d’Haenens et al., 2022); computational journalism and news output (Vállez & Codina, 2018); AI applied

It has also been studied from dierent theories of journalism. Computational journalism theory has looked into how digital tools and algorithms are transforming traditional practices, not only by automating repetitive tasks, but also by introducing new ways of gathering, analysing and presenting information (Anderson, 2013). Moreover, mediatisation theory examines how technology is reconguring the relationship between the media, journalists and audiences, aecting the way information is consumed and perceived, as well as the dynamics of power and trust in the media (Hjarvard, 2013).But the integration of AI into journalism is not free from challenges to ethics and transparency. Some academic research has focused on analysing the possible job losses that it could bring about (Lokot & Diakopoulos, 2016; Valdiviezo-Abad & Bonini, 2019), as well as the major impact on the quality of journalism. For example, although AI-generated news is eective in presenting facts, it lacks the depth and context provided by human journalists, which aects the understanding of complex issues (Carson, 2019). e ways in which AI can help combat disinformation through automatic fact-checking systems has also been studied, but it also presents risks of spreading fake news (Graves, 2018). Research such as that of Martín-García et al. (2024) points out that the key lies in eective human supervision to ensure that these tools are used appropriately and ethically.It should be noted that, although AI and journalism have been analysed from multiple perspectives, it is also necessary to consider how journalists themselves perceive such integration. e opinion and experience of professional journalists are of the utmost value, since they are the ones who directly face the challenges and opportunities that AI poses in their daily tasks. It is in this aspect where the value and contribution of this research lies. By focusing on journalists’ perceptions and experiences this study provides a practical and contextualised view of AI in journalism, exploring not only the technological and ethical implications, but also the human and professional impact on the practice of journalism.2. How AI is revolutionising journalists’ work: toolsArticial intelligence is not only redening the gathering, analysis and presentation of journalistic information, but is also transforming the work dynamics of professionals in the eld. From photojournalists to newsreaders or editors, all specialisations within the profession are inuenced by these technological advances.One of the most signicant changes is the option of using AI tools to automate repetitive tasks. Well-known tools such as Wordsmith and Heliograf allow journalists to focus on critical analysis and research, rather than on more mechanical tasks such as proofreading, although this may raise concerns about the quality of information and job cuts (Carson, 2019). AI also improves the eciency of information gathering through advanced natural-language processing algorithms, such as Google News Initiative and Dataminr, which analyse large volumes of data and swiftly detect relevant patterns (Graves, 2018).e rapid and ecient creation of multimedia content has been one of the tasks that has evolved the most. Tools such as Lumen5 and Wibbitz allow the quick creation of high-quality audiovisual material. Journalists with little or no experience

However, it is vital to maintain a balance between automation and human supervision to ensure the quality and accuracy of the content.Content personalisation is another aspect that has been deeply aected. News organisations can utilise AI to generate articles and features tailored to the specic interests of their audiences, increasing reader engagement and brand loyalty. However, this may create news bubbles that limit exposure to other perspectives, reinforcing pre-existing biases and further polarising audiences (Newman et al., 2023). It is therefore crucial for news organisations to implement strategies to balance personalisation with exposure to a variety of viewpoints (Pariser, 2022).As regards fake news, AI oers automatic fact-checking systems. Tools such as ClaimBuster and Full Fact AI combat disinformation by improving the precision of fact-checking (accurate verication of facts before publishing) and reducing the spread of fake news. ese systems scan large volumes of data and detect content that needs to be checked, although they require close collaboration between technologists and journalists to ensure that the algorithms are transparent and take cultural and social contexts into account (Graves, 2018; Salaverría, 2021).Analysis of sentiment and opinion is another area where AI is making a signicant mark. Sentiment analysis algorithms, such as those employed by Brandwatch, assess tone and emotion in texts, providing journalists with a deeper understanding of how their articles may be perceived. is technology is of particular use for analysing reactions on social media and adjusting content strategies accordingly, although they can misinterpret context or sarcasm, leading to erroneous conclusions (Liu, 2021).AI has made a noticeable mark on all areas of journalism, as there are tools applicable to dierent specialities. Television journalists and newsreaders may nd that AI has facilitated the automatic transcription and translation of content. Technologies such as Google’s Speech-to-Text and DeepL have revolutionised how interviews and reports are handled in numerous languages, allowing news to be more accessible and have greater and reach. Such tools not only save time, but also increase accuracy when transcribing dialogues and speeches, although they present challenges concerning accuracy and cultural nuance that require human review and editing (Mayoral-Sánchez et al., 2023). Tools for photojournalism such as Adobe Photoshop and Google Cloud Vision oer greater image quality and eciency, permitting the removal of unwanted objects, automatic adjustment of light and colour levels, or more ecient cataloguing of images. A debate has arisen here about the authenticity of AI modications, questioning where the line lies between digital enhancement and manipulation (omson et al., 2024).e future of AI in journalism promises even greater innovations. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), upgraded by AI, are beginning to be used to create immersive experiences in news reporting. ese technologies allow viewers to explore events and places interactively, providing a richer and deeper understanding of stories (Pavlik & Bridges, 2013; Baía et al., 2023). Furthermore, the ongoing development of language models such as GPT-4 and others is opening up new possibilities for creative and collaborative content generation between humans and machines. ese models are capable of writing complex articles, conducting simulated interviews, and generating detailed analysis, thus expanding the options open to journalists (Brown et al., 2020).

However, with proper management, these innovations can provide powerful tools for telling stories in novel ways, enhancing narration and the audience’s understanding (Pavlik & Bridges, 2013).Table 1 shows a list of the main AI tools applied to dierent areas of journalism with their advantages, limitations and functionalities.Table 1.

Wordsmith and Heliograf, for example, enable automated news generation, freeing up time for journalists to focus on more complex tasks, while ClaimBuster and Full Fact AI improve the accuracy and speed of fact-checking. Tools such as Adobe Photoshop and Google Cloud Vision facilitate ecient image editing, although they open up debates about visual authenticity. Technologies such as Google DeepL reduce work time in transcription and translation, and sentiment analysis systems, such as Brandwatch, provide a deeper understanding of public reactions. Despite their usefulness, journalists can (and should) review the results such tools create to identify possible errors and ensure that both the data utilised, and the information provided are accurate.3. Objectives and Methodology3.1. Objectivese general objective of this study is to explore, from the perspective of professional journalists, the impact of AI on the many tasks that make up their daily work. To this end, three research questions are posed to analyse the opportunities, challenges and implications associated with its implementation:1. What opportunities does AI integration oer to improve eciency and creativity in journalism?2. What are the main challenges and concerns facing journalists with the use of AI?3. What is the impact of the introduction of AI on the job market for journalists and what skills should journalists develop to adapt to these changes?3.2. MethodologyA double methodology was chosen to better answer these questions: namely, bibliographic review and then qualitative analysis through semi-structured interviews with Spanish journalists. First, an exhaustive bibliographic review on AI and its impact on journalism was carried out, based on highly prestigious sources, including papers published in journals indexed by Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and Scimago Journal & Country Rank (SJR). is review addressed key topics such as the automation of news, content personalisation, fact-checking, and data journalism. Bibliographic review is essential in academic research, allowing the compilation, evaluation and synthesis of relevant information (Martín & Lafuente, 2017). is process eases the identication of emerging trends and persistent challenges, providing a solid basis for the study’s analysis and conclusions (Kitchenham & Charters, 2007). Secondly, a qualitative analysis was carried out based on semi-structured interviews with journalists. is methodology is suited to the in-depth consideration of complex and contextualised phenomena (Denzin & Lincoln, 2018), ensuring a rich, nuanced understanding of participants’ experiences by going more deeply into their subjective impressions (Kvale, 2007). Interviews for this research were structured into four blocks: questions concerning socio-demographic prole (profession, age, years of experience and specialty), daily use of AI at work (tools they use, and their impact), challenges and opportunities they present in the profession (perceived advantages and limitations) and, nally, their vision of the future (repercussions for the labour market, and skills to be developed).

Two lter conditions were set for the selection of participants: having a degree in journalism and being active or having been so in the last 5 years. 12 personal interviews were conducted online through Google Meet. e interviews were conducted in March 2024 and lasted approximately one hour. is number of interviews achieved data saturation, a widely accepted methodological principle in qualitative research (Saunders et al., 2018). Data saturation indicates that further data gathering is unnecessary once sucient data has been collected (Hennink & Kaiser, 2021). After that point additional interviews no longer reveal new aspects or issues. Data saturation could be considered the equivalent in qualitative research of representativeness in quantitative studies (Papathanassis & Knolle, 2011). e proles of the interviewees are set out in Table 2.Table 2.

Its chief objective is to identify, analyse and report patterns (themes) within qualitative data, oering a detailed and nuanced interpretation of the content (Braun & Clarke, 2006). is method focuses on the experiences and perspectives of individuals and groups, allowing for a deep understanding of how they perceive and make sense of their surroundings (King, 2004). e analysis procedure was carried out in three phases: familiarisation and transcription of the interviews, generation of initial codes and grouping of codes by themes. Table 3 shows the process followed.Table 3. Phases of qualitative analysisPhases of qualitative analysisPhase 1Familiarisation and transcriptionPhase 2Initial code generationPhase 3Code grouping and renement of themesSource: created by the authorIn the primary phase of familiarisation and transcription, a detailed transcription of the interviews was made, including notes on possible emerging themes and relevant contextual details (Riessman, 1993; Poland, 1995). In the second phase, initial codes were generated using open coding techniques, organising the data with NVivo software (Strauss & Corbin, 1998; Jackson & Bazeley, 2013). emes were sought in the third phase, and rened by grouping codes into broader themes, using the constant comparison method to assess the coherence and relevance of the themes in the context of the study (Glaser & Strauss, 1967). emes identied included: eects on the production of content, ethics and transparency, the impact on employment, the quality and veracity of information, the relationship with the public, and innovation and the future of journalism, with specic codes assigned to each theme, as shown in Table 4. is approach allowed for a rich and complex understanding of participants’ narratives, providing a solid basis for the interpretation of qualitative data (Patton, 2002).

Resultse results of the interviews reveal a mix of optimism and concern about the adoption of AI in newsrooms which respond to the research questions posed.4.1. Opportunities for AI to improve eciency and creativity in journalismAnalysis of the journalists’ discourse reveals a generally positive perception of articial intelligence (AI) as a transformative tool in journalism. Benets such as automation of repetitive tasks, improved fact-checking and personalised content are highlighted. ese capabilities not only increase eciency and enrich research quality, but also serve to expand the global reach of journalism through the automatic translation of articles, underlining the innovative potential of AI in the media industry.One of the most noted benets is AI’s ability to automate repetitive, low-value tasks, freeing journalists to focus on more creative and analytical work: “AI streamlines the data collection process. Otherwise, we’d nd it more dicult to work with large volumes of data and information, it simplies the more routine daily tasks.” is aspect allows journalists to spend more time on tasks that require creativity and analysis, thus improving the quality of their work. However, interviewees point out that, although AI makes data processing faster, it is still human judgment that adds real value to news: “Sure, AI allows us to process a lot of data and information in seconds and makes certain more repetitive tasks easier, but it is our judgment that turns the data into interesting, well-told, truthful stories.”
268 | nº 40, pp. 259-278 | January-June of 2025Articial Intelligence and Journalism: exploring journalists’ perspectivesISSN: 1696-019X / e-ISSN: 2386-3978doxa.comunicaciónValue is appreciated in AI’s ability to identify patterns and trends that would normally go unnoticed, it signicantly improves the quality of a journalist’s research. Eciency in analysing large amounts of data not only saves time, but also enriches the quality of research: “We can review huge databases. at helps us discover stories that we would otherwise not be able to detect. But there’s no replacement for our work in selecting, writing or sifting, at least not for now.” is ability to review huge amounts of data and nd relevant information seems especially useful in the case of investigative journalism, when complemented by human endeavour.ere is also a signicant improvement in fact-checking, a crucial function in a media environment where speed and accuracy are essential to maintaining credibility: “AI makes us more ecient at fact-checking and I think we can also identify false news more quickly and accurately, but our job as a human is essential – an intelligent machine or a program can’t do it in the same way.” Nonetheless, even though AI has revolutionised fact-checking, many journalists emphasise that their role is still essential in giving context and depth to information: “AI helps us detect false news with impressive speed, especially when we are working against the clock. But in the end, we’re the ones who make sense of the facts and understand their import.”AI oers benets by personalising content, transforming the way readers receive their news. e reading experience becomes much richer and more meaningful, as each piece of content is carefully selected to capture the reader’s attention and keep them informed about what matters most to them: “Being able to open a news app and nd articles that perfectly align with your hobbies, your work or your favourite topics of interest instead of being bombarded with generic information is of great value to both media and readers.” Despite the obvious benets that AI oers in personalising content, some journalists stress the importance of balancing this capability with information diversity: “e challenge is to nd a balance between personalisation and information diversity. It is up to us, journalists, to ensure that this personalisation does not limit access to a broader view of the world.”In sports journalism, AI enables instant reporting, which is crucial for covering events in real time: “When I’m covering a football match or sporting event, AI gives me immediate access to the latest, most important data. I can then write and publish detailed analysis almost instantly. is speed and eciency is crucial for delivering accurate and comprehensive live coverage.”Regarding the creation of multimedia content, there is unanimity that AI models can edit videos and improve audio quality, freeing journalists to focus on the narrative and context of the story: “AI helps us generate high-quality multimedia content more eciently, but the journalist’s mind is still unmatched by any AI.”AI also opens up new possibilities for innovation in narration, facilitating experimentation with formats such as augmented reality and virtual reality. ese tools oer innovative and engaging ways to tell stories, allowing readers to live immersive experiences and better understand information: “AI tools allow us to experiment with new narrative formats such as augmented reality and virtual reality. at’s all well and good, but the nal word, the compositions, are the journalist’s job. e human touch is still vital in our profession today.”Another positive aspect is AI’s ability to automatically translate content, expanding the global reach of journalism. is is relevant to disseminating important news worldwide quickly and eciently: “With AI we can automatically translate articles into many languages, which helps us reach more people around the world. ere we have gained a lot in both time and cost. But there are other things that call for a journalist’s brain. I don’t watch any TV or radio programmes presented by
doxa.comunicación | nº 40, pp. 259-278 January-June of 2025Gema Martínez-NavarroISSN: 1696-019X / e-ISSN: 2386-3978| 269 a machine. I doubt I’ll ever watch one.” In this regard, we know that there are already presenters created with AI. is is the case of Mediaset with its rst AI-created presenter hosting the programme ‘Supervivientes’, or Natcha, the ai television news presenter also created using AI. Nevertheless, the journalists interviewed for this paper unanimously point out that, although they are technically impressive, they fail to replicate the human factor, especially when it comes to the emotions they can convey: “AI can do loads of things, including present the news, but it can’t feel. I don’t think that viewers’re just looking for data; ey’re looking for empathy, human connection, that’s what sets us apart, and at least for the moment, I don’t believe technology can oer it. at’s what really sets us apart.”4.2. Main challenges and concerns faced by journalists regarding the use of AIe study also reveals signicant concerns about the use of AI in journalism. Challenges include the loss of essential skills, the possible homogenisation of content, and the greater spread of fake news. Furthermore, the use of AI in content moderation may result in inappropriate decisions and a disconnect from the audience. e need for human oversight and appropriate regulation to maintain the integrity of journalism is apparent.One of the biggest perceived risks is the potential erosion of quality and depth in investigative journalism, because an over-reliance on these systems could lead to a loss of these values in investigative journalism: “e lack of a human touch and contextual understanding can ultimately make reporting much more supercial or biased. I think that in the end, no matter how much AI is used, a journalist has better criteria.” “In photojournalism, AI seems like magic, but a photo is not just an image, it’s heart. AI doesn’t have that. I believe and hope it never does” Similarly, over-reliance on AI could lead to a decline in the critical and analytical skills of journalists themselves: “If we get used to AI doing all or a great part of the work, we could lose our essential investigative and analytical skills.” is could turn out a generation of journalists who are less skilled at conducting in-depth research without the help of technology. Another risk is the possibility that AI could amplify existing biases from the data it is trained with: “AI learns from previous data, and if that data contains biases, AI will replicate and amplify them.” is can perpetuate stereotypes and prejudices, something particularly problematic in a eld that should aim for objectivity and fairness. Finally, there is also the risk that AI will be used to conjure up fake news in more sophisticated ways: “Using AI, fake news can be created and distributed faster and more convincingly, making the ght against disinformation even more dicult.” e journalists stress that this risk could jeopardise public trust in the media and in the veracity of the news they receive.ere is also concern about the potential homogenisation of content. Because AI algorithms tend to rely on patterns and prior data, one piece of content can become too similar to another, diminishing the richness of journalistic discourse: “Automating news creation could lead to all stories being very similar, which would greatly reduce the variety of viewpoints and opinions, an important part of our profession.” is risk of uniformity in news threatens to diminish the diversity needed for robust and meaningful journalism.Furthermore, there is concern that the use of AI may moderate content on social media. AI’s automated decisions do not always manage to understand the cultural or political context, which can lead to censorship of valuable opinions: “We cannot leave certain issues up to AI. ere’re choices that should be made by people, not by machines or algorithms.” is lack

AI, which bases its decisions on patterns and prior data, may fail to pick up on important nuances and specic contexts, leading to decisions that do not adequately reect the complexities of real-life situations. is underlines the need for human oversight in content moderation to ensure that the richness and diversity of discourse on social media is maintained, preventing uniformity that would impoverish public debate: “Human intervention is essential to ensuring that the decisions taken are not only fair, but that they reect the variety and depth of our cultures and opinions.”As regards sources of information, the interviewees point out that trust between journalists and their sources is essential to journalism. If sources feel that they are talking to a machine or that their words will be analysed out of context by an algorithm, they may be less open and frank: “I can’t imagine one of my sources having to give information, which may be sensitive, to a machine.” Such a lack of trust would be worrying because it could aect the quality and depth of the information obtained. e relationship of trust between a journalist and his/her sources is fundamental to ensuring that the information shared is both truthful and complete. ere is also a concern that AI could create a disconnect between journalists and their audience. “AI can make us lose the personal touch with our audience, making our news feel colder and less human.” is disconnect could damage the relationship of trust that is crucial for readers to feel connected and to trust the news. AI’s ability to subtly manipulate information is also seen as a threat to the profession of journalism: “e idea that AI can be used to subtly manipulate information is a catastrophe for our profession because where does that leave us?” is concern underlines the need for proper supervision and regulation to prevent AI from being used unethically and eroding public trust.4.3. Impact of the adoption of AI on the labour market for journalists and the skills that journalists need to adapt to those changese results reveal that the adoption of AI in journalism raises concerns about unemployment and the transformation of the labour market, chiey aecting repetitive tasks, while roles with human presence seem less threatened. e interviewees highlight the ethical risks related to privacy and the chance of errors and biases without adequate supervision. In addition, there is uneasiness that AI may increase workloads by requiring greater supervision and correction. Despite these concerns there is emphasis on the need for a harmonious, ethical integration of AI, developing complementary skills that highlight the unique human aspect which cannot be automated.Concern and uncertainty about unemployment and the transformation of the labour market that AI may bring about is a common denominator in the interviewees’ discourse: “AI scares us because we think that our profession, to some extent, may disappear… this question is widespread across many other professions”; “I think that this should start to be considered in the universities. AI is here, it’s a reality, we’ll no longer be able to work without it. Faculties should be teaching how to use these tools to the benet of journalists, to make them even better professionals.” is perception does not seem to aect all journalists’ tasks equally; repetitive tasks, such as data-driven writing, are seen as more easily automatable, while roles requiring human presence, such as newsreaders, are apparently seen as being under less of a threat: “AI doesn’t aect a
doxa.comunicación | nº 40, pp. 259-278 January-June of 2025Gema Martínez-NavarroISSN: 1696-019X / e-ISSN: 2386-3978| 271 news anchor in the same way as it does an editor or photojournalist… a newsreader… can’t be replaced so easily because they provide the human touch. It wouldn’t make sense.”Regarding risks to privacy and ethics, the interviewees suggest that the increasing use of AI raises serious ethical questions concerning privacy and data use. Monitoring and analysing user behaviour to personalise content can become invasive, and without proper regulation risks eroding public trust. is concern is increased by the potential for AI to introduce errors and biases: “One of my biggest concerns is that AI can introduce errors and biases without proper oversight; “I’m worried about ethical issues, fake news, identity theft…” ese concerns reect the ethical challenges that must be faced to ensure the integrity of journalism.ere is also concern that AI may increase the pressure and workload on journalists rather than reducing them: “Although AI can automate many tasks, it may also mean that we have to check and correct more, adding to our workload, because we can’t assume that everything AI churns out is right.” is increased workload not only aects journalists’ eciency and well-being at work, but may also have a negative eect on the quality of the content generated. By having to spend more time on monitoring and correction, journalists could actually have less time to carry out in-depth research and build relationships of trust with their sources. ere is a widely-held opinion that there is a need to nd the right balance in the use of AI to ensure that these fundamental aspects of journalism are not compromised: “If we are busy correcting AI errors, we won’t have time to do quality journalism. We need to use the technology in a balanced way so as not to compromise our quality of work.”Despite these concerns, the journalists agree that there is a need to integrate AI harmoniously and ethically into the practice of journalism: “AI is here to stay, and we have to live with it. We can’t see it as an enemy. We need to learn how to use it as a complement to our work.” “We should look on AI as a tool that lets us give the best version of ourselves as journalists, not as a substitute.” is perspective underlines the importance of a balanced, deliberate adoption of the technology. e interviewees unanimously agree that professional journalists need to develop skills to complement AI, focusing on tasks that highlight their value: “e human touch is what really connects with people and keeps their trust. Although AI advances, we need to focus on what makes us unique and can’t be replaced by machines.”5. Discussion and conclusionse aim of this study was to look more closely, from the perspective of professional journalists, at AI’s impact on their work. e ndings conrm that AI has emerged as a transformative tool in journalism, oering signicant benets but also presenting ethical and professional challenges. Mastering AI is essential for journalists to improve their employability in an increasingly technological labour market. e advantages oered include the potential these tools have to automate repetitive and low added value tasks, freeing journalists to focus on more analytical and creative tasks where human input is irreplaceable (Hepp & Loosen, 2021; Stenbom et al., 2023). Apart from saving time and simplifying complex processes, the quality of journalistic research is improved (Brennan et al., 2020). New possibilities present themselves to innovate in aspects such as narratives or mining large databases to discover previously hidden stories, something of particular value to investigative journalists. AI’s usefulness is also apparent for experimentation with new formats such as augmented and

Over-reliance on automated systems may lead to the production of supercial, impersonal and biased content, compromising the integrity and diversity of journalistic discourse (Diakopoulos, 2019). Journalists’ integrity and ethics, together with their ability to provide context and critical analysis, are indispensable for the generation of truthful, meaningful news (Susskind & Susskind, 2020). Concerns about the eects of AI on employment and changes to the labour market cannot be merely brushed aside (Cid, 2017); a perception that varies according to one’s specialisation and specic eld within the profession. Structured, repetitive tasks, such as writing data-driven news, are more susceptible to automation and there is therefore a greater fear of job substitution. As is the case with photojournalists, who face direct competition from technologies that can generate images, and therefore feel more threatened (Hausken, 2024). Roles that require signicant human presence and greater interpersonal skills, such as news anchors, seem to feel less vulnerable. e ndings underline the crucial need for professional journalists to develop skills that can be complementary to AI, focusing on tasks that are not so easily automated. Wölker & Powell (2021) underlined the importance of journalists focusing on those tasks that, by their very nature, cannot be easily automated. AI facilitates the compilation and analysis of enormous amounts of data, but human abilities to detect nuances, understand sociocultural contexts and exercise critical thinking are essential to maintaining the quality and rigor of journalism. We are speaking here of skills that have to do with the ability to understand and interpret surroundings, and the ability to keep watch over the powerful, among many other functions that call for creativity and real, not simulated, intelligence (Codina et al., 2022).According to the journalists themselves, the integration of AI into their work must be approached proactively, critically and sensibly. Keeping a balance between automation and human participation is crucial to ensuring the quality and integrity of content. Hence the importance of ethics, transparency and critical thinking in both its use and training (Lopezosa et al., 2023). e ndings indicate that AI tools not only bring new possibilities to newsrooms, but that their eectiveness depends on how they are used and who is using them. is underlines how AI changes the way journalists work and, at the same time, how journalistic work inuences the development and application of AI (Carlson, 2015; Jarrahi et al., 2023).Academia has the responsibility to lead this transition, with the incorporation of AI training into educational programs (Flogie & Aberšek, 2021). Communication faculties cannot just stand idly by and watch changes of such importance to society, changes that are shown to have a wide impact on employability (Lopezosa et al., 2023). It is vital that future journalists acquire technical skills and overcome any fear of these technologies, seeing their potential as complementary tools rather than threats (Calvo-Rubio & Ufarte-Ruiz, 2020). Education must therefore focus on the ethical and competent use of AI, preparing students to eectively and responsibly integrate these tools into their professional practices. Professionals in the world of communication need to know, handle and understand very clearly what AI systems are and how they work. It is therefore time to talk about professional training that needs to include AI (Codina, 2024). Media outlets also have a crucial role to play in this transformation. Providing ongoing training, access to advanced AI tools, fostering an environment that values technological innovation, and empowering sta would not only serve to improve the quality of journalism, but
doxa.comunicación | nº 40, pp. 259-278 January-June of 2025Gema Martínez-NavarroISSN: 1696-019X / e-ISSN: 2386-3978| 273 could also ensure the competitiveness and relevance of media outlets. Nevertheless, despite these ndings, this research has certain limitations. Chief amongst these is its qualitative approach based on personal interviews, which may restrict the generality of the results. Although a deep and detailed insight into journalists’ experiences and perceptions has been achieved, the ndings may not be fully representative of the entire sector.Future lines of research should consider the development of specic methodologies for teaching AI in journalism courses, as well as in empirical studies that evaluate the eectiveness of these methodologies. ere is also a need to investigate how media companies can better structure their investments in AI technologies and ongoing training in order to maximise benets. Another crucial aspect is to continue to delve deeper into the ethical and social eects of using AI in journalism, ensuring that these tools are used in ways that benet society as a whole.Only through research, ongoing education and technological adaptation will it be possible to ensure a future of ethical, innovative journalism capable of meeting the demands of a society in constant technological evolution. AI does not replace journalism as a profession; it should be understood as an ally that oers signicant opportunities to improve and perfect work. Journalists bring editorial judgment, cultural and ethical sensitivity, and the ability to establish relationships of trust with sources, attributes that machines cannot yet replicate. It is essential to lose the fear of these tools and understand their potential to raise the quality of journalists’ work.6.
