The use of artificial intelligence and automation in the creation process and information analysis is quickly moving forward in the media and entertainment industry. On the one hand, journalists and content creators can measure and analyze the behavior of audiences in different digital platforms through a series of metrics. How can these possibilities to understand the behavior of audiences can influence the creation of information? Which type of cultures can emerge surrounding the centrality of these metrics in regard to the news production and entertainment content?

On the other hand, regards to the news, the most important news outlets have already started to produce news using computational algorithms, which raises pressing questions about their role in the generation of news: will they be creators, will they replace the news or will they represent an aid? Furthermore, their use raises serious questions about how people perceive and assess this new way of doing journalism.

Through the presentations of leading scholars in their fields, the Social Media '21 Conference will address the role of automation and artificial intelligence in the creation of news, as well as the different cultures that emerge within journalism and the content creation surrounding metrics in an ever-changing media context.
