Graduate Assistant at the Center for Media Ethics and Literacy
Dr. Hilary Gamble, a new faculty member for the University of Arkansas School of Journalism and Strategic Media, will speak this week about the ethics of using artificial intelligence in newsrooms.
The session is part of the school’s September Speaker Series, hosted by the Center for Media Ethics and Literacy. It will be held in the Student Media Center, Kimpel 203, on Thursday, Sept. 4, at 2 p.m.
Gamble‘s research focuses on media effects, particularly the role of media in romantic relationships and sexual behavior. She has also investigated the way journalists interact with and use AI in their work.
“Using AI in journalism doesn’t have to mean sacrificing integrity,” Gamble said. “When used ethically, it can help us be better journalists. I want to inspire students to explore AI tools for research and fact-checking while keeping human judgment and creativity at the center of their work.”
Gamble received a Ph.D. in Mass Communication and Media Studies from the University of Arizona. She is teaching three courses in the journalism school this fall: Storytelling for Today’s Media, Video Production and Multimedia Journalism.
“Dr. Gamble‘s insight on AI is incredibly important for our students and faculty,” said Gina Holland Shelton, director of the Center for Media Ethics and Literacy. “She has expertise on media effects and can speak to both the ethical implications and potential effects AI will have on the general public, as well as journalists and consumers of news.”
