“I Think It’s Exciting and Frightening at the Same Time”
This study explores audience sentiments toward generative artificial intelligence (AI) in journalism by analyzing in-depth qualitative interviews with Danish news consumers. Findings show that while the users acknowledge AI’s potential to improve efficiency and writing quality—and are sometimes delighted by the prospects—they emphasize the need for a human journalist in the loop. Many are concerned about AI replacing human journalists; some fear …
Automated News Reading in the Neural Age
Automated journalism is rapidly developing in the news industry. Among the most recent and promising technological potentials are neural voices, i.e., text-to-speech technology powered by neural networks. Based on a reception analysis with in-depth qualitative interviews (N = 12), this study explores how Danish radio listeners receive a full news broadcast read by a neural voice and perceive the credibility of the neural reader and the news conte…
The Potentials and Pitfalls of Interactional Speculations by Journalists and Experts in the Media
During pandemics, uncertainty is a given condition, as are the potential risks of which the public needs to be informed via the media. In such dire straits there tends to be a shortage of certain knowledge and an abundance of speculations that can potentially inform as well as misinform the public. In this study, we conduct a conversation analysis of the interactional dynamics of speculations between Danish journalists and health experts in telev…
Talspigerne I Medierne
Over the last couple of decades, girls and women have generally outperformed boys and men in the educational system, and in the Danish media, high-achieving girls and women are often referred to as straight A girls (Danish: 12-talspiger). In this article, we conduct a corpus linguistic analysis of the frames constructed around the concept of straight A girls in Danish national newspapers (N = 215 articles). The analysis shows that straight A girl…
The Effects of Phonetic Reduction on Actual and Perceived Comprehension by News Audiences
So-called “sloppy speech” is a frequent subject of criticism in broadcast and electronic news media. In particular, phonetic reductions are accused of compromising comprehension. This paper presents the results of an experimental self-sampling study (9015 participants) that examines the effects of reductions in scripted news speak. Overall, the results show that reductions have limited effects on comprehension. However, abstract, complex and ambi…
