Full Description
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.
