New book on automatisation of Journalism

Automation will fundamentally change journalism. It places new demands on competencies, professionalism, ethics and strategy for everyone who works in the media. The book "How to change the automation media" is for journalists who want to be well prepared. The handbook is written by journalist Andreas Marckmann and it provides concrete answers to what journalists need to know, be able to and understand, so that automation becomes an opportunity rather than a threat in your work.

DataPublics-PI, associate professor, Jannie Møller Hartley is interviewed in the book, where she points towards a possible risk of personalization, which relates to the infrastructures of data:

"If we become dependent on data providers over whom we have no control. Again, it's about who owns the data. If the media leaves it to third parties to build their personalization algorithms, collect and conclude on data, then we risk losing power over the most important currency of the future for a media house: the relationship with users."

The book is based on more than 70 interviews in Denmark and abroad. The book is in Danish.
