Spent part of my day today reading articles on “innovation labs“ in journalism. Perspectives vary—from the point of view of media sociology, I would like to see more deconstruction of the concept of #innovation in #journalism research and a greater awareness that “agile methods“ are not necessarily “good“, but also have something to do with #neoliberalism and the #individualization of responsibility (and failure). Criticize the #lab discourse and think differently about #pioneerjournalism…

I will use this example from the @tazgetroete today as a hook for my talk at the @sfsci@twitter.com congress. It shows well how far apart the narratives about communicative #AI and the everyday work of journalists are, how much the phenomenon of #ComAI is currently characterised by a "talking" and "curating into being" - and why #journalism is involved in this. Also #pioneerjournalism 👇👇👇

Worth reading: An article by @Roland_Fischer@twitter.com about Anic T. Wae, an #OpenAI #GPT3/ #GPT4-based #AI columnist for the @tazgetroete. Why? You learn how far the human-machine symbiosis has to go for the system to work at all, about protections and anthropomorphisation by journalists, the importance of #OpenAI's infrastructure and that the agency lies precisely not in the system but in the hybrid figuration of human and machine. #ComAI #pioneerjournalism In German: https://www.taz.de/!5938268

Exciting for https://molo.news: the talk by @correctiv_org at #rp23 on the crisis of #local #journalism. This is what the network correctiv.local is working against. #pioneerjournalism https://correctiv.org/lokal/

At the #ica23 postconference "Novel Directions in Media Innovation and Funding": Exciting presentation by @askekammer on the "Innovation Pool" for #journalism in Denmark. However, the bigger question from the point of view of our research on #pioneerjournalism is whether it is about the survival of the individual organisation or the (slow) transformation of the field of journalism. https://www.taylorfrancis.com/chapters/edit/10.4324/9781003140399-11/beyond-innovation-andreas-hepp-wiebke-loosen

A great #ICA23 post-conference on "Novel Directions in #Media #Innovation and #Funding" kicks off at historic Gladstone House, organised by @hermida and @marylynnyoung@twitter.com

It just occurs to me that we could have also presented our empirical research on #pioneerjournalism and our development of the local news platform https://Molo.news...

It is not the #diffusion of technology that transforms #journalism, but technology as a reference point for organisational refiguration. Our paper presented by @kuehnhendrik @WLoosen #pioneerjournalism #ica23 @ZeMKI_Bremen @BredowInstitut

Tools are always in the marking: @A_Schmitz_@twitter.com from @zemki presents her media ethnography on journalistic tools and the role of organisational context for their development #pioneerjournalism #ICA23

Fresh from the kick-off of molo.news - our platform for local news, whose nationwide launch we are now testing, with a team at @zemki, HBI and Media and Communication Studies at the University of Leipzig. With funding from VIP+ @bmbf_bund, we want to further develop the platform for local media, collectives and officials so that it is interesting for as many cities as possible.

Our project molo.news is entering its 2nd phase: thanks to the VIP+ programme of the @bmbf_bund, we can test at the @zemki, the Leibniz Institute for Media Research HBI and the @unileipzig whether our platform for local news also works across Germany. We are launching in 4 other small and medium-sized cities besides Bremen and Leipzig and with lots of great ideas. #PioneerJournalism #LocalJournalism #PlatformCoop #DesignJustice More info: https://www.uni-bremen.de/en/zemki/details/molonews-forschungsverbund-testet-eine-in-bremen-entwickelte-nachrichten-app-1

One important point Friedrich Krotz makes at the @zemki workshop on #mediatization, especially from the perspective of research on #pioneercommunities and #pioneerjournalism: mediatization research should also be prognostic in the sense that it looks at possible #futures. Otherwise, development is left to tech companies and their interests. I would completely subscribe to that, but it also means thinking hard about the necessary methods and theories.
