Journalists Raise Concerns About AI Use
At the African Journalism Education Network conference in September, attendees and the author discussed why some journalism students and educators avoid using AI tools, citing five concerns: loss of friction, blurred boundaries, reduced effort, hindered expertise development, and privacy risks. The author argues that deliberate practices—AI diaries, journey prompts, role-play, and privacy controls—can reintroduce productive friction and guide responsible classroom adoption.
