Creating quality journalistic content with a mobile phone as the main tool has not yet completely covered the Balkans. Mobile phones are an important tool for journalists, but most of the major Balkan media do not make full use of their potential and ability to create powerful video contents. And there is a great opportunity, not only for every media, but also for every journalist.

Catherine Mackie
Every journalist wants their audience to trust them. In return the audience expects their journalist to be accurate, fair and impartial. Throw artificial intelligence (AI) into the mix and things can get trickier if you’re not prepared. AI-tools are hugely beneficial to so many newsrooms but they come at a cost. The cost, if you don’t have the right policies in place, can be reputational damage, legal trouble and damage to audience trust. So if you’re using AI or you plan it’s time to take the ethical approach.
