Overview

Automated Journalism at the Intersection of Politics and Black Culture: The Battle Against Digital Hegemony explores the unintentional inequities that erupt when AI assistance meets news media. Colin Campbell argues that while AI newswriting can streamline news production, it can also exacerbate racist discrimination and perpetuate harmful stereotypes. Combining empirical research and personal experience, Campbell urgently argues for the necessity of ensuring that AI-produced media is mindful of Black, Brown, and minority experiences—as well as traditional journalistic concerns such as bias and accuracy. Media scholars will find this book especially salient.

Automated Journalism at the Intersection of Politics and Black Culture investigates issues surrounding AI in journalism with a focus on race in the United States. In this important work, Colin Campbell points out the many instances in AI-assisted journalism where there is a need to rethink and pay extra attention to the role (or lack thereof) of humans in news production and the risk that automated journalism may contribute to the dominance of white media framing, management, and ownership. While bias can be a product of historical injustice, it can also happen because of a lack of diversity in terms of who is in control of setting up the technology, such as automated journalism, that shapes our perception of society. --Ester Appelgren, Södertörn University Colin H. Campbell masterfully dissects AI-driven journalism's impact on racial representation, offering a discerning critique of digital hegemony. Insightful and meticulously researched, the volume unveils the ways automated news narratives shape and reflect societal biases, particularly affecting Black communities. A critical contribution to understanding how technology shapes our perception of race and politics, and its ethical and representational implications in contemporary news reporting. --Eddy Borges-Rey, Northwestern University in Qatar
