"An invitation to see AI not only as a tool, a threat, or yet another instantiation of technological disruption driven by sometimes reckless and always self-interested competing corporations, but also as an opportunity to offer fresh answers to the questions of what journalism is, ought to be, and who it is for."Rasmus Kleis Nielsen, University of Copenhagen"This book provides a much-needed calm, conceptual analysis of AI in contemporary journalism that cuts through the dystopian and utopian hype. It makes a compelling case that journalism is facing a fundamental challenge and needs to respond with public interest at the heart of its future."Charlie Beckett, LSE JournalismAI Project"With Journalism in the Age of AI, we have a comprehensive yet highly readable account of how AI is disrupting news organizations and journalism, when they are already reeling from 25 years of digital transformations. A must-read for journalists, news workers, and those who teach and study in the field."Terry Flew, University of Sydney"The authors do not buy into convenient narratives of inevitable AI – instead they map the powers, politics, and professional forces that shape journalism's future with AI. This book is a timely call for editors, journalists, and policy-makers: the risks are real, but so are the opportunities for journalism's democratic role — if we are willing to make courageous choices."Natali Helberger, University of Amsterdam"This book's great achievement is to show that AI is not just rewriting the news – it is reshaping how all of us come to know the world and tell truth from fabrication. Lewis, Zamith, and Dodds make a compelling case that reimagining journalism means rethinking the very infrastructure on which our shared sense of reality depends."Andreas Hepp, ZeMKI, University of Bremen"Journalists' stories play a key role in society, when they are told by humans to other humans. AI risks disrupting that, not because it is necessarily bad, but because its adoption driven only by economic values risks undermining the social meaning of journalism as a practice. This sharp, well-focused book highlights those dangers, but also the future promise, if media workers – journalists themselves – are empowered to take control of how AI is used and how it isn't."Nick Couldry, author of Predatory AI"This book sets the stage perfectly: AI is a choice point. Lewis, Zamith, and Dodds make a compelling case that the hamster wheel isn't the path. Using AI to elevate journalism is. Its concrete examples make this volume one I will continue to recommend."Florent Daudens, CEO, Mizal"Journalism in the Age of AI arrives at exactly the right moment and it does something that's very much needed. It looks beyond the newest tools and models to map the structural reordering of the information ecosystem itself – where power is moving, how value is being redefined, and what happens when journalism becomes just one layer in a much larger, AI-mediated system of knowledge creation and distribution. If you've been trying to make sense of where all this is heading, this book won't give you easy answers. But it will help you ask better questions, and that may be exactly what this moment demands."Ezra Eeman, Director, AI in Media, at WAN-IFRA"This well-researched, intellectually honest, and ultimately hopeful book deserves the attention of policymakers, educators, and technologists who believe that the quality of our public knowledge determines the quality of our shared future."Daniel Erasmus, Head of AI for Internet Archive Europe"AI has forced a reckoning with what matters most about journalism; which parts belong to humans, machines, or some combination of both. Journalism in the Age of AI gives readers the language to confront what has been, until now, only a felt sense among those of us working in news and innovation."Aimee Rinehart, Founder of FrontierCollective.io and former Senior Product Manager for AI Strategy at the Associated Press"A masterful synthesis of what really counts in journalism and AI that cuts through the hype with a grounded vision forward."Nick Diakopoulos, author of Automating the News"Journalism in the Age of AI provides a rare service: a clear-eyed and careful assessment of AI's significance as a disrupter of news, combined with a plausible argument for developing new relevance for journalism in an AI-mediated age – one that may eventually offer journalists a catharsis for the frantic and unsustainable practices of the digital era. Lewis, Zamith, and Dodds don't sugarcoat the challenges ahead, but they provide far more than just anxious criticism and they gently invite journalists to imagine what journalism might become."David Caswell, Co-founder of Signals at Scale and former Executive Product Manager at BBC News Labs"As AI both accelerates and complicates the structural shifts transforming journalism today, urgent questions arise about the future of media production and democratic society. Fortunately, Journalism in the Age of AI has arrived at the perfect moment. Written by leading scholars of journalism studies, the book expertly assembles key insights on journalistic labor, platform power, and democracy, while showing how AI not only is disrupting how we share and consume information, but also provides a rare opportunity to reimagine what good journalism could be."Victor Pickard, University of Pennsylvania and author of Democracy without Journalism?
