AI technology affects journalism training in the current period

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is one of the most important trends of the 21st century, putting impacts on many different areas of society, including journalism. AI has brought excessive benefits for the journalism industry such as increasing efficiency, saving costs, enriching contents etc. However, AI also poses challenges and risks for the industry. In this context, the role of journalism training institutions is very important in training new skills for reporters. They not only write and transmit information to the public, but also control and monitor the AI to ensure the authenticity and transparency of the information. However, to do this, reporters need new skills and knowledge, so the training institutions need to update the content and training programs. This article analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of AI tools in journalism in general and the working process of reporters in particular, thereby suggesting proposals to train staff in the field of journalism in the current period.
