While AI integration offers new opportunities in journalism, it also raises ethical concerns around data privacy, algorithmic biases, transparency, and potential job displacement. This study employed qualitative interviews with media professionals and researchers to explore their perspectives on the ethical implications of AI integration in newsrooms. Interview data were analyzed to identify common themes and specific challenges related to AI use in journalism. The findings discuss issues such as the tensions between technology and journalism, ethical challenges related to AI, the evolution of professional roles in journalism, media guidelines, and potential future regulations PB Frontiers SN 2297-900X YR 2024 FD 2024 LK https://hdl.handle.net/10347/40045 UL https://hdl.handle.net/10347/40045 LA eng NO Gutiérrez-Caneda, B., Lindén, C-G. and Vázquez-Herrero, J.
