Abstract

In an era characterized by the widespread use of algorithmic systems and platforms in news production and distribution practices, the ethical practices of journalists face significant challenges. Drawing on Floridi’s onlife framework, this study aims to shed light on journalist-machine interactions and explores new ways to rearchitect journalism ethical standards through an integrative, object-oriented approach. In-depth interviews with local news workers throughout the U.S. reveal a range of issues related to decontextualization in algorithmic platform design, the hidden price of platform partnerships, and the growing reliance on automated tools that foreshadow ethical issues to come. These algorithmically-induced challenges appear to be particularly pronounced in local newsrooms, highlighting the disproportionate impact of algorithmic systems on under-served media sectors. Discussions are made around the constant push-and-pull over editorial power dynamics apparent in local news workers’ use of algorithmic systems. A distributed responsibility model is proposed as a practical way to hold multiple actors, including both humans and algorithms, accountable for journalism’s ethical standards in the algorithmic era.

算法时代的新闻伦理

摘要

在一个以算法系统和平台广泛用于新闻制作和发布实践为特征的时代,记者的道德实践面临着重大挑战。借鉴 Floridi 的 onlife 框架,本研究旨在阐明记者与机器的交互,并探索通过综合的、面向对象的方法重新构建新闻道德标准的新方法。对美国各地当地新闻工作者的深入采访揭示了一系列与算法平台设计中的去上下文相关的问题、平台合作伙伴关系的隐性价格,以及对自动化工具的日益依赖,这些都预示着道德问题的到来。这些算法引发的挑战在当地新闻编辑室似乎尤为明显,强调算法系统对服务不足的媒体部门的不成比例的影响。围绕当地新闻工作者对算法系统的使用中明显的编辑权力动态的不断推拉进行了讨论。分布式责任模型被提议作为一种实用的方法来让包括人类和算法在内的多个参与者对算法时代的新闻道德标准负责。
