This study aims to identify new competencies needed by journalists in facing AI disruption, analyse changes in the role of journalists due to the use of AI in the newsroom, and examine the forms of ethical and critical competencies needed in AI-based journalistic practices.

This study emphasises the importance of establishing an adaptive and ethical competency framework to ensure that AI is used to strengthen journalistic integrity, not replace it.]]>
