Marieta and Laura discuss how AI can be used to build on local journalism with special guests Sonja Tutty, data journalist, and Joseph Hook, editor of RadarAI. There are so many stories hidden into massive spreadsheets, that local reporters may have no time or resources to go through, and that’s what Radar’s team does with the help of AI. But they are still writing the stories, doing original interviews, and seeking the data themselves. So, if AI is not being used to compose the articles, then how does one script turn into hundreds of local news pieces? Listen to this episode to find out.

REPORTERS, DATA, ROBOTS: Reimagining local journalism's potential

Newsrooms have been exploring how Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Information Extractions (IE) can modularise content as reusable elements to use for different storytelling formats and for meeting users’ needs. But what bits and pieces are worth looking at and how can journalists do that? Marieta and Laura talk to Ines Montani, founder of ExplosionAI and Anna Vissens, lead data scientist at The Guardian, to find out more about modular journalism and the importance of transparency when using AI.

Modular Journalism: The new way to find stories?

Join Marieta and Laura, two postgraduate student journalists who are excited to step into the world of journalism but are also concerned about where the profession is headed. A.I. chatbots have sparked controversial discussions around search, written content, and trust, but are these tools the only ones that journalists should fear? Data scientists and newsrooms have been collaborating for years to ensure the ethical and efficient use of artificial intelligence and to take storytelling to another level. Listen to the weekly episodes of this podcast to hear about all things A.I. and journalism from renowned industry experts.
