Abstract
The rise of digital media and new technologies has fundamentally changed news gathering, allowing journalists to gather, analyze and share information with unprecedented speed and accuracy. This article explores the integration of tools such as artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics into journalism, improving the ability to process large data sets, identify trends and verify information - critical to combating disinformation. We explore the role of social media in real-time newsgathering and the ethical implications of using advanced technologies. Digital tools increase the speed and reliability of reporting, increase transparency and public trust. Our empirical research includes analysis of case studies of major news organizations that have integrated these technologies. A mixed-methods approach is used: qualitative data from in-depth interviews with reporters and editors, and quantitative data on news speed, audience engagement, and information accuracy before and after technology adoption. This article highlights both the practical applications of new technologies and the challenges of news gathering. It includes case studies and recent examples of journalistic practice. While these advances offer significant benefits, they also require new skills and ethical standards for journalists to effectively navigate the complex digital landscape. This research contributes to the debate about the future of journalism in the digital age and offers recommendations for media organizations to integrate new technology into their news gathering processes.
