Artificial Intelligence and 5G Will Force Journalism Schools to Accentuate the Basics in Instruction

Abstract

Benjamin Davis

This reflection considers the need for journalism schools to more intensely teach skills that cannot be replicated by AI or 5G. Critical thinking and writing are examples of Non-curation skills and they may need to be taught more because they cannot be mimicked by AI. Curation skills involve borrowing from other sources, which include human and digital platforms. It might be prudent to teach curation skills as a tool that is meant to strictly support non-curation journalism skills - which are commanded only by a human. The most secure journalism jobs will be those which cannot be replicated by AI.
