[Commlist] Generative AI & Journalism: Content, Journalistic Perceptions, and Audience Experiences Report

*Subject:* New Report: Generative AI & Journalism: Content, Journalistic 
Perceptions, and Audience Experiences

A new report, drawing on three years of research and fieldwork in seven 
countries, about Generative AI and Journalism, has been published and is 
available here:

https://apo.org.au/node/329601 <https://apo.org.au/node/329601>

This new report brings together six discrete research and engagement 
activities which span multiple countries  over a three-year period 
(2022-24) and focuses on AI in journalism within three broad domains: 
AI-generated content in journalism, journalists’ perceptions of and use 
of AI in journalism, and news audiences’ perceptions of and reactions to 
this technology being used in journalism.

This output joins other reports that focus on AI in journalism 
(including those produced by the Reuters Institute for the Study of 
Journalism, the BBC, the Tow Center for Digital Journalism, and the 
Centre for Media Transition at UTS) but largely adopts a distinct focus 
on multi-modal, visual AI and offers a broader scope over multiple 
domains (production, editing, and audience reception and 
interpretation). It also complements with depth, nuance, and richness 
the breadth of other survey work focused on AI and journalism, 
particularly in the domain of news audiences.

This report aims to familiarise the reader with a wide array of AI in 
journalism use cases, provide grounding on the legal and ethical issues 
that journalists and audiences identify regarding this technology within 
journalism, and reveal news audiences’ expectations regarding how this 
technology should or should not be used. The report ends with a series 
of questions for journalists and news organisations to consider as they 
work through their experimentation with and guidelines around AI use in 
journalism.

The report is co-authored by:

Dr. T.J. Thomson, RMIT University, Australia
A/Prof Ryan J. Thomas, Washington State University, U.S.A.
A/Prof Michelle Riedlinger, QUT, Australia
Dr. Phoebe Matich, QUT, Australia
