Abstract
This article considers the impact of AI on the economy and financing of journalism organizations. AI has structural implications on the news media beyond the practice of journalism and the management of news as a process. AI also shifts the premises of competition, competitive advantage, mergers and acquisitions, and IT capabilities in the news industries. Not least, it fundamentally challenges journalism's traditional business model. Considered hereunder is the two-sided market model, journalism's traditional platform function, its network effects, and its public good characteristics. The aim of the article is, thus, to reconceptualize core economic features of the news industries in the context of AI to provide a vocabulary with which to assess the economic future of journalism in a data-driven platform economy.
本文探讨了人工智能对新闻机构的经济和融资的影响。人工智能对新闻媒体的结构性影响超出了新闻实践和新闻管理这一过程。人工智能还改变了新闻行业的竞争前提、竞争优势、并购和 IT 能力。更重要的是,它从根本上挑战了新闻业的传统商业模式。本文主要探讨了双面市场模式、新闻业传统的平台功能、网络效应及其公益性特征。因此,本文旨在重新认识人工智能背景下新闻业的核心经济特征,为评估数据驱动的平台经济中新闻业的经济前景提供一个词汇表。
