Abstract

Since the 2010s, the introduction of automation and robotization in newsrooms has led to a significant transformation in digital journalism. The so-called algorithmic journalism arises as a novel discipline that impacts different tasks and functions that previously required a journalist's intervention. Its use in the news outlets offers new opportunities for the collection, treatment, production or even distribution of content. Its reach is global and its impact acquires a transversal character. This chapter conducts a descriptive study of the implementation of artificial intelligence in journalism across three distinct media contexts: Spain, Portugal, and Brazil. Through a case study approach, the authors examine various successful initiatives that reflect the impact of these technologies on media and their role in redefining the boundaries of journalism.
