“INMA Knows” is a content surfacing project designed to personally curate all association resources on a single subject of high interest to INMA members
The days of editorial staff focusing only on the news of the day are long gone. Among the responsibilities the newsroom has embraced is using Artificial Intelligence as a natural and necessary partner to journalism. Throughout the world, AI is helping journalists and editors share more content, share content more quickly, personalise content, and create new content products. Just outside the newsroom, AI is growing digital subscriptions, digital advertising, and the business of journalism. Thomas Sundgren of United Robots lays the groundwork nicely for the topic: "AI and automation should be a driver for journalism, not the end goal itself."
— Dawn McMullan, INMA
