#Metrics as the new normal: Fascinating talk by Carina Tenor at the #Futures of #Journalism conference, arguing that metrics in newsrooms are used to manage journalists in a certain way. The parallel to science is obvious. #FoJ2023 #FoJ23

Unfortunately, I have to interrupt the Futures of Journalism conference briefly for an online talk at the conference "Digitality, Culture, Language. Theoretical Modelling and Empirical Approaches from a Linguistic Perspective". But it's about communicative AI there, too. #FoJ23 #FoJ2023 #ComAI

How much can be said scientifically about #journalism? @[email protected] analyses the journal Journalism Studies in her keynote at the Futures of Journalism conference: Since 2000 Journalism Studies „expanded from four issues a year to 16, publishing 1,662 articles in total over that period. Who knew there was so much to say about journalism?!?“

And „deep thinkers“ also had their say.

The discussion about #AI and #journalism at the Futures in Journalism Conference in Cardiff shows how important it is to have an eye on the histories of the development of what is now called (communicative) AI - and to compare different social domains. In such a broader view, many things in journalism seem far less unique - and in synchronous and diachronic comparison they can be better understood. #FoJ2023 #FoJ23 #ComAI
If you want to know more about the #Futures of Journalism Conference 2023 in Cardiff, there is a very good blog entry by @snurb: https://snurb.info/node/2834 Once again, I am struck by the fact that we in the sociology of media have a more critical understanding of „innovation“ - #innovation is the construction of the new as new (and possibly disruptive), not simply a "new" technology which diffuses. And every social construction is contested and embedded in #power relations. #FoJ2023 #FoJ23
