    EUSJA Webinar: How to utilise AI tools in daily work efficiently

    20th January 18:00– 19:00 CET, moderated by EUSJA board member Dino Trescher

    “Every week, new AI tools are being introduced that can make life easier for us journalists. They help in researching facts, analyzing PDFs, and assist in writing, structuring, and polishing texts. How can one practically use and efficiently integrate the new AI tools into daily work? What are the advantages and differences among the major players: ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot? How do I write good and effective prompts? How does source work function with Perplexity and NotebookLM, and how does one research academic sources with Consensus and Scite? A workshop as a guided tour with practical examples.“

    The lecturer is Isabel Lerch, a data journalist at the German broadcaster Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), specialising in data-driven reporting, investigative research, and automation. With a background in political science and a traineeship at NDR, she is currently expanding her expertise through part-time Data Science studies at Leuphana University. She also teaches regular workshops on data journalism.

  • Information and Artificial Intelligence:between ethics and deontology in Italian realities

    Information and Artificial Intelligence:between ethics and deontology in Italian realities

    Where Centro Congressi FAST – piazzale Rodolfo Morandi n.2, Milan

    When 2:00-6:00 pm on 04 July, 2025

    About

    Join EUSJA vice-president Cinzia Boschiero on a debate on ethics in AI.

    It seems that Italy is well positioned internationally in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but there is a gap in understanding and adoption at the level of institutions, multiple practitioners, media managers, and public opinion. Considering that the European AI Act includes mandatory AI literacy for businesses and citizens, the most obvious gaps need to be addressed. Society seems to have superficial knowledge, and only a minority value the adoption of AI on a personal and professional level.

    Insufficient attention is paid to implications related to ethics in general and deontology in particular. Hence the need for strategies that go beyond simply providing information and addressing users’ concerns and doubts. There is a need to manage effective use of complex technologies by the media also by using AI itself, which from a topic of discussion should become a tool for correct and effective information with targeted supporting actions. With expert input and discussion, here is an opportunity to explore topics such as Artificial Intelligence and its impact on the code of ethics and ethical aspects in communication: accuracy, source control, fact checking, information in a balanced and contextualized way. Experiences on the use of Artificial Intelligence in newsrooms are presented; how to transform complex concepts into understandable narratives is explained. There is no shortage of reflection on social responsibility: role in shaping public opinion and setting the agenda for debates. Proposals are made for digital literacy and on the role of the media in spreading AI culture.
