“…Our findings shed light on the present IoT debate, separating actual effect from fad uses, and may give insight into future applications. Chapter [7] looks at how the Latin American news industry is setting the way for new technologies. An innovative type of capitalism fueled by contemporary knowledge poses a danger to the creation and acceptance of news media advances.…”

Public progress and people’s well-being need free and honest news media effective for educating the public, holding experienced authors accountable, and recording public debate of public officials on current events. News media’s evolution might be influenced by a variety of variables. Political understanding, economics, education, development corporation, and information technology are vital variables that will offer effective news. Due to the enactment of web and mobile technologies, the media world is now preparing for the next explorations with the Internet of Things (IoT). Because of IoT-based devices, this mix of technologies has already begun to spread. One of the industries most influenced by this next technological revolution will be news media. Internet of Things devices is enabling new methods of creating, disseminating, and consuming journalistic material, ushering the news business into a new paradigm: ubiquitous journalism. In this paper, we collected data from Chinese news organizations to improve security, team collaboration, high-speed network access, and public accessibility. We have used Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption to contextualize IoT adoption inside the framework of technological advancements absorbed by media, and the process can be optimized by using Hybridized Fruitfly Bumblebee Optimization Algorithm (HFBOA). The suggested technique is compared to other existing methods, and its performance is assessed. The proposed method helps in increasing the security of the contents related to news media. The estimated results for our proposed technique are implementation cost (45), latency (40), security level (95), reliability (87), accuracy (89), throughput (6.7), execution time (1.05), and energy consumption (45).

“…Furthermore, AI can enhance new forms of participation and leverage new products that could increase news media consumption (Diakopoulos 2020;Jamil 2020). However, several challenges tend to delay technological innovations in newsrooms, such as the resistance to change, the institutional landscape, historical competition, insufficient funding, a lack of skill, and complementary ambitions (Boczkowski 2004;de-Lima-Santos and Mesquita 2021b;Krumsvik et al 2019;Paulussen 2016).…”

In recent years, news media has been greatly disrupted by the potential of technologically driven approaches in the creation, production, and distribution of news products and services. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged from the realm of science fiction and has become a very real tool that can aid society in addressing many issues, including the challenges faced by the news industry. The ubiquity of computing has become apparent and has demonstrated the different approaches that can be achieved using AI. We analyzed the news industry’s AI adoption based on the seven subfields of AI: (i) machine learning; (ii) computer vision (CV); (iii) speech recognition; (iv) natural language processing (NLP); (v) planning, scheduling, and optimization; (vi) expert systems; and (vii) robotics. Our findings suggest that three subfields are being developed more in the news media: machine learning, computer vision, and planning, scheduling, and optimization. Other areas have not been fully deployed in the journalistic field. Most AI news projects rely on funds from tech companies such as Google. This limits AI’s potential to a small number of players in the news industry. We made conclusions by providing examples of how these subfields are being developed in journalism and presented an agenda for future research.

“…Even though most fact-checking firms are based in the Global North, there has been a prosperous venture in the Global South (Stencel et al, 2022). Countries like Brazil have a thriving fact-checking industry (de-Lima-Santos & Mesquita, 2021). The sociopolitical background and professional incentives encouraged journalists to put forward their enterprises from 2015 onward (Lelo, 2022b).…”

“…Despite some theoretical insights highlighting how AI technologies can tighten the strings of big tech’s control over digital journalism, menacing its autonomy and authority (Simon, 2022), there is a need for more empirical research discussing the fact-checking reliance on the tech industry to advance automation (Johnson, 2023). Particularly in the Global South, thus far, there are few pieces centered on corporate entities funding fact-checkers (de-Lima-Santos & Mesquita, 2021; Lelo, 2022a). So, it is crucial to understand how tech firms’ efforts to foster automation influence practitioners’ daily operations.…”

“…The sociopolitical background and professional incentives encouraged journalists to put forward their enterprises from 2015 onward (Lelo, 2022b). Recently, there has been evidence that some groups have been advancing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to automate some steps of their daily work (de-Lima-Santos & Mesquita, 2021). Until now, few empirical studies have examined this development despite the fact that automated fact-checking has been seen as a promising step to counter misinformation at scale (Graves, 2018b; Guo et al, 2022; Johnson, 2023).…”

This article examines the advancement of automated fact-checking in Brazil and investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) products shape publishers’ discourses and practices. First, it maps the field to identify how it has evolved throughout the years. Next, it draws on 30 official statements published by journalists and their tech partners, and seven semi-structured interviews with representatives from five websites. This article shows an emerging automation landscape in the Brazilian fact-checking venture supported by the tech industry. Nonetheless, AI has challenged fact-checkers’ authority and increased the technologists’ influence over journalism.
