Tech Giants, Artificial Intelligence, and the Future of Journalism Hardback
by Jason Paul Whittaker
Part of the Routledge Research in Journalism series
Hardback
Description
This book examines the impact of the "Big Five" technology companies – Apple, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft – on journalism and the media industries.
It looks at the current role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in curating how we consume media and their increasing influence on the production of the news.
Exploring the changes that the technology industry and automation have made in the past decade to the production, distribution and consumption of news globally, the book considers what happens to journalism once it is produced and enters the media ecosystems of the internet tech giants – and the impact of social media and AI on such things as fake news in the post-truth age. The audience for this book are students and researchers working in the field of digital media, and journalism studies or media studies more generally.
It will also be useful to those who are looking for extended case studies of the role taken by tech giants such as Facebook and Google in the fake news scandal, or the role of Jeff Bezos in transforming The Washington Post.
