Abstract

ABSTRACT The adoption of AI in newsrooms can fundamentally change journalistic processes. Nowadays, AI is increasingly able to fulfil journalistic tasks, evolving the roles and interaction of newsworkers and AI. Given its high impact, the question arises how AI and newsworkers can collaborate productively in the newsroom to maintain or even improve journalistic quality. This study analyses newsworker-AI collaboration at four German newspaper publishers through the lens of Human-Machine Communication (HMC). Based on the data, a model for the evaluation of newsworker-AI collaboration is developed and validated. The results show that the interaction intensity between newsworkers and AI as well as the creation of knowledge in the newsroom can be identified as relevant evaluation criteria for newsworker-AI collaboration.
