“…The latter is very important in today's post-truth era, where media organizations receive a lot of criticism for the issue of fake news and experience considerable competition from citizen journalists and legacy internet organizations (Facebook, Google, etc.) that have direct access to billions of internet users (Katsaounidou et al 2018).…”

The exploitation of data in the media industry has always played a significant role. This is especially evident today, since data (and in many cases big data) are generated through various activities that relate to the production and also consumption of news. This paper attempts to highlight the importance of big data utilization in the media industry. Specifically, it discusses cases of big data exploitation, such as media content consumption and management, data journalism production, social content utilization, and participatory journalism applications. The study also examines the changes that big data has introduced in all stages of the journalism practice, from news production to news distribution, by utilizing the available tools. Finally, it discusses new developments that relate to semantic web (Web 3.0) technologies, which have already started to be adopted by media organizations around the world.

“…Chatbots and related algorithms were developed to produce content on their own, with little to no human intervention. Machine-generated news content is often powered by artificial intelligence or similar machine learning algorithms [25], and it has been one of the more defining factors of the journalistic profession in the past few years [26], as it has led to many upsets in the industry, provoking many researchers, as well as practitioners into questioning whether or not these programs could potentially prove to be a threat for industry workers [27,28]. The prevalence of these new digital tools is in part responsible for the cultivation of a work environment in which digital literacy is one of the most important aspects, with the imminent re-defining of journalistic skill sets coming to the forefront [28,29].…”

“…Machine-generated news content is often powered by artificial intelligence or similar machine learning algorithms [25], and it has been one of the more defining factors of the journalistic profession in the past few years [26], as it has led to many upsets in the industry, provoking many researchers, as well as practitioners into questioning whether or not these programs could potentially prove to be a threat for industry workers [27,28]. The prevalence of these new digital tools is in part responsible for the cultivation of a work environment in which digital literacy is one of the most important aspects, with the imminent re-defining of journalistic skill sets coming to the forefront [28,29]. Despite that controversy, however, what remains an undeniable fact is that chatbots and other AI agents like news writing algorithms are seeing extensive use in news media production today, with many industry-leading organizations like Forbes and the New York Times utilizing them as content creators, with the final product being almost impossible to distinguish from human writing [30].…”

Interactivity has been a very sought-after feature in professional journalism ever since the media industry transitioned from print into the online space. Within this context, chatbots started to infiltrate the media sphere and provide news organizations with new and innovative ways to create and share their content, with an even larger emphasis on back-and-forth communication and news reporting personalization. The present research highlights two important factors that can determine the efficient integration of chatbots in professional journalism: the feasibility of chatbot programming by journalists without a background in computer science using coding-free platforms and the usability of the created chatbot agents for news reporting to the audience. This paper aims to review some of the most popular, coding-free chatbot creation platforms that are available to journalists today. To that end, a three-phase evaluation framework is introduced. First off, the interactivity features that they offer to media industry workers are evaluated using an appropriate metrics framework. Secondly, a two- part workshop is conducted where journalists use the aforementioned platforms to create their own chatbot news reporting agents with minimum training, and lastly, the created chatbots are evaluated by a larger audience concerning the usability and overall user experience.

“…In order to monitor UGC, media organizations utilize tools and build platforms which enable them to obtain, sort and disseminate news [12]. When pre-moderation is employed, journalists check every piece of UGC before published, achieving an adequate level of security, however not without high consumption of financial, human and time resources [24].…”

In the evolving news media landscape, the proliferation of user-generated content in online news outlets and social media platforms has triggered changes in traditional processes and relationships. However, the coexistence of professional and amateur content raises a wide range of matters. Misinformation is one of the main problems faced by media organizations during the exploitation of huge amounts of data. In order to ensure the quality of the content, journalists use control methods and perform fact-checking not only on their own, but also by engaging users. By offering an examination of key issues arising from UGC research, this article seeks to focus on the application of participatory practices in fact-checking. In addition to more traditional methods, the webbased platform of Truly Media, which supports collaborative verification, is used as a case-study.
