Reimagining Journalism with Artificial Intelligence: A Human-Centered Perspective

Abstract

Muhammad Umar Shehu

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly changing the landscape of journalism. While its benefits are clear in terms of speed, data processing, and efficiency, this paper takes a more grounded look at how AI tools can genuinely support the journalism profession without replacing the human qualities that make reporting valuable. This research highlights real-world applications, practical challenges, and the ethical decisions journalists face when using AI. It argues for a balanced approach where human creativity and judgment remain central, supported—not sidelined—by intelligent technologies.
