It tackles issues and practices related to the output and organization of media outlets in our digitized age.</p> https://callisto.newgen.co/intellect/index.php/AJMS/article/view/7936 2024-01-11T04:28:36+00:00 Farooq A.

<p>Artificial intelligence journalism has been incorporated into the professional routines of the institutional news media formation in the West for a little over a decade, but it is only just now being slowly adopted in the rest of the world. This study deploys a combination of case-study research and semi-structured in-depth interviews with senior editors in Nigeria to explore the state of artificial intelligence journalism in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country and one of its leading adopters of emerging technological innovations. The burgeoning embrace of robotic journalism in Nigeria and the professional anxieties this emergent reality is activating among journalists in the country have not been captured in the scholarly literature. This study fills that void and hopes to inspire an expansion of the disciplinary conversations about the influence of robotic journalism in news gathering, production, and dissemination processes in parts of the world that are symbolically peripheral and technologically marginal but nonetheless important parts of the global news ecology. The study also discusses the implications of leapfrog innovation and the routinization of artificial intelligence reportorial practices in a digitally backward country.</p>
