How we are building a community of practice to make journalism more user-centric

With Mattia Peretti, Shirish Kulkarni and Styli Charalambous

Generative AI is the talk of the town but the audience is mostly missing from the conversation, with experiments focused primarily on gaining efficiencies. But we can’t make journalism more sustainable without radical new solutions and creating products that people actually want. Removing AI from the centre of the conversation, a group of media people started exploring avenues to make journalism more user-centric, and more equitable and sustainable as a result. This is what we've learned so far.

Community-led Design. The Future of Journalism?

With Shirish Kulkarni and Mattia Peretti

Many marginalised people and communities feel let down by journalism. So how do we better understand what they really want and need from us? “News for All” is a radical collaboration between BBC News and Media Cymru, that’s putting those who are badly served by journalism at the centre of the design process, rather than on the outside. In this session, you’ll hear how prioritising connection, collaboration and care for communities is pointing the way to a reimagination of journalism for everyone.
