Experts Say Journalism Rooted in Empathy, Not Replaced by AI

Many smart people who teach journalism and report the news met at a university in Odisha, India, for three days.

They talked about how computers and social media are changing the news.

The experts all agreed on one big thing: computers cannot do the job of a real journalist.

Good journalists care about people, understand their communities, and tell true stories.

One journalist said that even though the way we get news has changed, the most important rules are still the same: be truthful, be fair, and check your facts.

Another journalist said reporters help regular people talk to their leaders, and stories from villages often make the government listen.

The experts also talked about AI, which can help news workers do tasks faster and study large amounts of information.

But they warned that depending on AI too much could weaken original thinking and creativity.

In the end, they said journalism will stay a human job because it needs empathy and a deep understanding of people.
