AI in the newsroom - SURVEY

Dear Media Professionals,

As part of our ongoing research into the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on journalism in Southern Africa, we invite you to participate in this crucial survey. This research, focusing on Namibia, Malawi, and Zimbabwe aims to explore how AI is transforming newsrooms, influencing content creation, distribution, and consumption, and shaping the future of journalism in our region.

Your insights as journalists, editors, and media professionals are invaluable. By sharing your experiences and perspectives, you will contribute to a deeper understanding of how AI is being integrated into our newsrooms and its implications for the future of journalism in Southern Africa.

We encourage you to take a few minutes to complete this survey. Your participation will help ensure that the voices of Southern African media professionals are heard in the global conversation on AI and journalism, and that our unique challenges and opportunities are recognised.

Thank you for your valuable contribution to this important research.

Sincerely,
Namibia Media Trust                                           DW Akademie (Namibia & Southern Africa)
