CFP: Symposium on AI in Journalism


Date: 2 May 2025


Online Symposium by the Journalism Safety Research (JSRN) hosted at the 
Centre for Freedom of the Media (CFOM)


The Journalism Safety Research Network (JSRN), hosted by the Centre for 
Freedom of the Media (CFOM) in the School of Journalism, Media and 
Communication at the University of Sheffield, is hosting an online 
symposium to mark World Press Freedom Day 2025.


World Press Freedom Day highlights the fundamental principles of press 
freedom and raises awareness around the world of the work that 
journalists undertake and how we can defend them from attacks that they 
face in the work that they do. This year’s World Press Freedom Day 
focuses on Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the future of journalism, 
highlighting the critical challenges that are currently taking place at 
the intersection of technology and media freedom.


The JSRN serves to facilitate the exchange of ideas, publications and 
networking opportunities through conferences, seminars and workshops as 
well as the development of research agendas and policy proposals. In 
this online symposium, the JSRN is inviting presentations focusing on AI 
and journalism including, but not limited to:


  *

    The transformative role of AI in journalism and content creation

  *

    The ethical challenges of AI in journalism

  *

    Issues concerning AI and mis/disinformation

  *

    How newsrooms are engaging with AI


The online symposium will provide a chance for academics and civil 
society organisations to come together to discuss the future of 
journalism. The symposium is aimed at understanding the issues that 
journalists face and devising solutions as to how these issues can be 
best tackled.


Please send abstracts of 250-300 words, including bio of ca. 100 words 
to Dr Gemma Horton ((gemma.horton /at/ sheffield.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(gemma.horton /at/ sheffield.ac.uk)>) by 22 April 2025. Successful 
applicants will be notified by 25 April 2025.
