Abstract

The aim of the article is to describe the role of ChatGPT in journalism from two perspectives: academic and journalistic. Academic perspective is provided through bibliometric analysis and literature review. The data from Web of Science and Scopus shows increased scientific interest in LLMs in social sciences and humanities. However, there are still very few publications regarding ChatGPT in journalism. The main findings of those publications are summarized in the article. Journalistic perspective is provided using critical discourse analysis of journalists’ statements, both in news articles and essays as well as in their social media posts. The results of qualitative study reveal that improving the quality and working time is one of the biggest hopes, while disinformation and job loss are one of greatest fears of journalists.
