“…There is also a current of opinion among communication professionals and academics that this technology will not have a negative impact on the journalistic labour market (Calvo-Rubio; Ufarte-Ruiz, 2020) and that professionals need to be adequately prepared to incorporate these state-of-the-art tools into their practices. This vision, however, coexists with fears that, in some countries, many journalists may be displaced from the media (Yu;Huang;Jones, 2020). Sánchez-García et al (2023) even points out that, following their research on AI applied to journalism in Spain, "the experts consulted draw an 'irreversible' technological reality, a 'forced change' that, however, the media receive with 'slowness', 'distrust' and 'unwareness'".…”

AI integration in media newsrooms is changing professional routines, required profiles and journalistic products. The acceleration in the development of this technology since the end of 2022 makes it necessary to review these tools in order to analyse their uses and risks, as well as their possible applications in the journalistic field. OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022 open to the public. This tool has been a key element in this technological revolution. This paper analyses ChatGPT applications in journalistic newsrooms through its introduction during a working day in the routine of different professionals. A mixed methodology was used to carry out this experience: a benchmarking of AI tools applied to journalism was created, a walkthrough experience was carried out with ChatGPT and, based on the results obtained in these first two phases, the experiment with journalists was designed. A total of 12 journalists of different ages and sectors with little or no previous contact with technological tools based on artificial intelligence, as the aim of the study is to observe the application in newsrooms without the need for technical training, participated in this research. The results show the usefulness of the tool to automate mechanical processes, rewrite texts, analyse data and even serve as a content idea creator. On the other hand, journalists have also perceived significant risks such as inaccuracy of AI as well as lack of ‘empathy’.

“…As an illustration, consider the fact that machines will compete with humans in almost every intellectual endeavor, including chess! The fact that the computer program AlphaGo defeated the best human player is compelling evidence of what artificial intelligence is capable of (Yu, Huang, & Jones, 2020).…”

Incontestably, the continued advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed many industries, including journalism. AI continues to take over traditional ways of journalism in Pakistan in a similar way as in other parts of the world (but at a slower rate). It has revolutionized journalistic practices in Pakistan. This study investigated the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in reshaping journalism in Pakistan. This research used an interview method. A sample size of 15 journalists was drawn using the purposive sampling method. A carefully constructed questionnaire was used to collect data from defined participants. Additionally, to conduct a thematic analysis of recorded interviews, different categories and subcategories were used. The findings of the study reveal that despite having a transformational role in Pakistani journalism, Al Adoption still needs certain considerations to improve the standards of reporting in a polarized society like Pakistan. Although Pakistani journalists are somewhat knowledgeable about AI technology, more instruction on the moral implications of its application in journalism is necessary.

“…Media professionals are faced not only with the need for lifelong learning, but also with the need to quickly and practically master a large number of practical skills in the background every day. At the same time, they do not break away from their main activities, but must master digital technologies and software products directly during work (Yu et al, 2020).…”

“…The concept of lifelong learning in the early stages of a media professional's career means a change in specialization and the ability to quickly master new knowledge necessary to fulfill new responsibilities. Over time, the accumulation of skills, both hard and soft, gradually leads to the formation of a very broad professional view and the ability to freely navigate in any professional context (Yu et al, 2020).…”

New information and computer technologies transform the social interaction and impose new demands for skills and thinking upon media specialists. The aim of this study is to determine the most effective set of information technologies, which can help media specialists develop competencies and thus stay competitive in the labor market. The research methodology is based on the overview of case studies concerning issues such as technology trends, human capital, and talent competitiveness. The qualitative analysis was performed in three phases – overviewing case studies, distinguishing trends and problem-solving. Analyzing data on skill supply and demand, the key skills needed to succeed in the workplace were identified. The results of the three-phase research revealed that the most important competencies needed to be in demand today are technology literacy, stress tolerance, and big data skills. The major finding of this study is that a media specialist needs to focus on learning throughout his life and gain hard and soft skills in the process.
