Journalism has entered a new era. Artificial intelligence, open data, and digital archives are transforming the way information circulates. Technology can speed up research, automate certain tasks, and even generate texts in seconds.
But here lies a trap: no matter how advanced AI becomes, it can also produce inaccurate or misleading information. Copying machine-generated texts without proper fact-checking is not journalism — it’s noise. The core of credible reporting remains the journalist: the person who documents, verifies sources, and adds context.
A concrete example is 9era.ro, a general news site aiming to provide fact-checked, transparent information in a time when fake news spreads faster than ever. Alongside it, infocultural.eu covers culture, history, heritage, tourism, media, and technology - showing how these areas connect with society at large.
Other projects, such as Facla.ro, a general news publication, and Sinteza.eu, a platform for in-depth summaries and analysis, expand this ecosystem and reach different audiences.
Together, these initiatives highlight both the opportunities and the challenges: technology can empower journalism, but only if used responsibly. The future of media is not about replacing journalists with algorithms - it’s about combining digital tools with human judgment, so that culture, technology, and information can coexist in a meaningful way.
