🎙️ Here are a couple quotes about audience engagement with #visualnews from a new study, co-authored with Rachael Anderson, and published today in Journalism Practice.

📝💻 We used a digital diary study to explore news visuals that community members thought were interesting, surprising, or remarkable.

👁️🤖 How do humans and computers "see"? That's the question driving my latest research, published in @viscomjournal.bsky.social. This study evaluates how computers process images and which specific #visualstyle elements across 3 dimensions computer vision regards as important and which it does not.

What a delight it was to work with @danielpfurtscheller.at, @klobinger.bsky.social, @nataliialaba.com, & @kathchr.bsky.social on this newly published study: Visual literacies in transition: multimodal co-production with generative AI.

📖 The #RoutledgeCompanionToVisualJournalism is now available for pre-order. It features a whopping 41 chapters over 524 pages and is richly accompanied by all types of visuals from photographs and screenshots to AI-generated images and data visualisations.

🤔 What do news audiences want from local news?
📰 What do they think is poorly covered or missing?
📝 How involved are news audiences in the production and dissemination of local news?

Our new report addresses these and other pressing questions for those living in regional parts of the country.

I reached a satisfying milestone today: 1 million reads of my 24 career-to-date articles published in @theconversation.com. I genuinely enjoy translating research for public benefit through these pieces and look forward to hopefully continuing to do so for many years into the future.

👀 New research out on the types of bodies who are making visual news in regional settings, how bodies are being represented in visual news in these areas, and how the embodied nature of visual journalism affects the way that news images are made and presented.

Enjoyed musing about the implications of #IlFoglio's fully #AI-generated newspaper experiment with SBS's Max Gugole and being quoted alongside @monicaattard.bsky.social in the resulting article.

Interested in #generativeAI and #journalism? If so, you’re warmly invited to the launch of a report on this topic next month. The report brings together six research and engagement activities conducted over a three-year period in seven countries and focuses on three domains.

Here are some of the stories and ideas they shared, summarised in an article in The Conversation Australia + NZ and more fully explained in an (open-access) article in Journalism.

We put these questions to a mix of Indigenous and non-Indigenous journalists, journalism educators, media professionals, and journalism students and asked them to write, draw, and share stories in response.

🤔 Whose values are served by the #journalism principles we learn during our training and integrate into our professional practice?

❓ What would it look like if journalism education and practice were unlearned through a decolonising, #Indigenous standpoint?
