A new article by ZeMKI member Prof. Dr. Andreas Hepp is being published as open access in a thematic issue of the International Journal of Communication (IJoC), edited by Christian Pentzold and Charlotte Knorr.
The article, titled “Curating AI Into Being: Hacks/Hackers as Amplifiers of Journalism’s Digital Futures,” analyzes how the Hacks/Hackers network actively shapes the role of artificial intelligence in journalism. Based on a media-ethnographic study conducted in Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States, it shows that AI is introduced as a trend, consolidated through illustrative examples, and ultimately normalized in a three-step process. Hacks/Hackers promotes practices such as data journalism and automated journalism. The network functions as an amplifier of a future vision in which AI is seen as central to journalism, while also positioning AI as a broader transformative force in society.
