The rise of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) technologies has led many news media and professional organisations to question the oversight of responsible journalistic use of these technologies, given the risks they pose to the quality and diversity of information. This study analyses 36 recommendations and guidelines published in Western and Northern Europe from a cross-ethical perspective on journalism and AI.

This paper explores the multifaceted landscape of news aggregation, highlighting its diverse practices and the resulting implications for information dissemination, narrative construction and public engagement.

The launch of ChatGPT at the end of November 2022 triggered a general reflection on its benefits for supporting fact-checking workflows and practices. Between the excitement of the availability of AI systems that no longer require the mastery of programming skills and the exploration of a new field of experimentation, academics and professionals foresaw the benefits of such technology. Critics have raised concerns about the fairness and of the data used to train Large Language Models (LLMs), including the risk of artificial hallucinations and the proliferation of machine-generated content that could spread misinformation.

While perceived as a tool to improve fact-checking, GAI technology raises concerns about data reliability and the spread of misinformation. Given these ethical challenges and system limitations, how can we mitigate these risks and promote the responsible use of GAI among fact-checkers?

The results of this qualitative and quantitative study on the challenges of fact-checking the Russian-Ukrainian war were presented at the EDMO Scientific Conference 2024.

How do European news organisations and self-regulation bodies frame ethical practices? A compared analysis between guidelines, recommendations, principles published in 12 EU countries.

Fact-checking tools are a part of the fact-checker apparatus. In this research, we provide evidence on the condition of the use of fact-checking tools, mobilizing a theoretical framework that explores the epistemology of the use and user experience concepts.
