While the technology has been utilised in journalism for some time, interest has surged since 2023, spurred by a broader shift toward generative AI. More news organisations are experimenting with AI in news production, distribution, and various business tasks, to enhance journalistic work and optimise operational processes.For many journalists, AI is often described as a threat.

It creates anxiety about job security among journalists, particularly in an era of distrust and information overload.On the other hand, AI can boost productivity through automation and foster innovation. Original and authentic news becomes more valuable in a predominantly synthetic landscape. Third is the opportunity for newsrooms to shift how news can be made relevant by engaging audiences.This presentation will explore how AI can help reverse the downward trend in news sustainability and how the journalism industry can reconnect with audiences in an evolving digital landscape. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/lung-fu-shan/from-disruption-to-renewal-ai’s-role-in-the-future-of-journalism/100001982853376827 - **Event Categories**: artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: HKD ## Event venue details - **city**: Lung Fu Shan - **state**: HK - **country**: Hong Kong - **location**: T3, Meng Wah Complex, HKU - **lat**: 22.2843638 - **long**: 114.1341539 - **full address**: T3, Meng Wah Complex, HKU, Pok Fu Lam Road, Lung Fu Shan, Hong Kong ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: From Disruption to Renewal: AI’s Role in the Future of Journalism - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5f9b2ad3f348944eaa6d47a94bf49f61575e2345bf4d2fc71b2f7da8ed979137-rimg-w1200-h675-dc141616-gmir.png?v=1770976668 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is From Disruption to Renewal: AI’s Role in the Future of Journalism being held? - **A:** From Disruption to Renewal: AI’s Role in the Future of Journalism takes place on Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm to Thu, 19 Mar, 2026 at 04:50 pm at T3, Meng Wah Complex, HKU, Pok Fu Lam Road, Lung Fu Shan, Hong Kong. - **Q**: Who is organizing From Disruption to Renewal: AI’s Role in the Future of Journalism? - **A:** From Disruption to Renewal: AI’s Role in the Future of Journalism is organized by Journalism and Media Studies Centre. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "From Disruption to Renewal: AI’s Role in the Future of Journalism", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/5f9b2ad3f348944eaa6d47a94bf49f61575e2345bf4d2fc71b2f7da8ed979137-rimg-w1200-h675-dc141616-gmir.png?v=1770976668", "startDate": "2026-03-19", "endDate": "2026-03-19", "url": "https://allevents.in/lung-fu-shan/from-disruption-to-renewal-ai’s-role-in-the-future-of-journalism/100001982853376827", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "T3, Meng Wah Complex, HKU", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Pok Fu Lam Road", "addressLocality": "Lung Fu Shan", "addressRegion": "HK", "addressCountry": "HK" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "22.2843638", "longitude": "114.1341539" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "To explore how AI help reverse the downward trend in news sustainability, and how news organisations can reconnect with audiences", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "HKD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "2026-03-19", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/lung-fu-shan/from-disruption-to-renewal-ai’s-role-in-the-future-of-journalism/100001982853376827" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "HKD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/lung-fu-shan/from-disruption-to-renewal-ai’s-role-in-the-future-of-journalism/100001982853376827", "price": 0, "name": "For HKU Students and Staff" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "HKD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/lung-fu-shan/from-disruption-to-renewal-ai’s-role-in-the-future-of-journalism/100001982853376827", "price": 0, "name": "For Non-HKU registrants" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Journalism and Media Studies Centre", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/journalism-and-media-studies-centre/23967090", "description": "Tucked away in an iconic building on the lush green slopes of Lung Fu mountain, theJournalism and Media Studies Centreof The University of Hong Kong has offered world-class professional journalism education since 1999." } ] } ] ```
