And a first welcome to new subscribers from RND, Reach plc, The Library Newsroom Project, and to all of you brave souls working independently. I was this close to not sending the newsletter this week 🀏, after feeling unwell over the weekend and not having enough time to write as a result. But something somewhere really wanted this email to reach your inbox today, because just as I made peace with skipping a week, I came across something that is by itself worth the spotlight: [Futures of Journalism β€” An anthologyEleven essays by Nordic AI Journalism and Fojo Media Institute.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/82/f3/82f371f9-1869-4f63-8250-33a6ab658986/content/images/icon/favicon-21a22b83-2ed8-4f5a-b91d-7901aef92de4.png)Nordic AI Journalism & Fojo Media Institute![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/82/f3/82f371f9-1869-4f63-8250-33a6ab658986/content/images/thumbnail/futures-of-journalism-social-share-b06e6e46-af1d-464d-ad7f-2af7677efb2b.png)](https://foj.nordicaijournalism.com/?ref=newsalchemists.com) *Futures of Journalism* is a collection of essays published by the *Nordic AI Journalism* network, in collaboration with the *Fojo Media Institute*. The essays present *"visions from leading industry voices on what journalism may become when the emergence of an AI-mediated information system reshapes how editorial media is made, valued and consumed."* You know I very rarely write about AI in this newsletter so don't get fooled by the mentions of it: these essays are not *about* AI. They focus on how journalism can stay relevant and be a genuine useful service for people in a world where AI is part of the information ecosystem we all inhabit, whether we like it or not. (FWIW, I often don't. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ) Two of the essays, and the introduction to the anthology, are written by [OG news alchemists](https://www.newsalchemists.com/newsletter-55/#news-alchemists-before-the-newsletter) Nikita Roy, Martin Schori, and Agnes Stenbom Swedling. Others by experts already featured in this newsletter, such as Ezra Eeman and Rasmus Kleis Nielsen. The essays are divided into three categories. From Agnes' introduction (the emphasis in *italics* is mine): - **Rethinking Journalism** begins with the most fundamental questions. As AI transforms the production, circulation and use of information, what becomes of journalism's role in society? What should remain, what might change, *and how should journalism relate to the public it exists to serve?* - **Reinventing Value** explores what journalism could offer in an information economy no longer necessarily organised around articles, websites or even direct human consumption. The essays consider new economic models, journalistic services and audience experiences, *and challenge us to reconsider what makes journalism valuable.* - **Rebuilding Newsrooms** turns the attention inward. Imagining a different future is one thing; creating organisations capable of realising it is another. Here, contributors explore *the leadership, capabilities, cultures and ways of working that meaningful transformation might require.* I haven't even read *all* the essays yet. But I know I will this week, and I'm 100% sure that they'll give me a lot to think about. Hopefully, as this newsletter aims to do every week, they will even give me a little dose of hope. And I trust they'll do the same for you. [The responsibility to imagine what’s next β€” Futures of JournalismJournalism has never been short of people willing to explain what is wrong with it. This anthology seeks to go beyond diagnosing problems to offer visions of what may come next. In this introduction, project initiator and lead Agnes Stenbom Swedling (Strategic Advisor, Schibsted and Co-founder, Nordic AI Journalism) argues that editorial media has a responsibility imagine desirable futures – and act towards them.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/82/f3/82f371f9-1869-4f63-8250-33a6ab658986/content/images/icon/favicon-3a673bb8-5ca8-48f9-be96-ebc3f06eebfd.png)Nordic AI Journalism & Fojo Media Institute![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/82/f3/82f371f9-1869-4f63-8250-33a6ab658986/content/images/thumbnail/futures-of-journalism-social-share-cdba3efd-9332-4759-8d0f-a467356d0d21.png)](https://foj.nordicaijournalism.com/essays/editors-introduction?ref=newsalchemists.com) Let's enjoy the read together, and meet again right here next week, when the regular 7-links service will resume.
