Breaking news – in Arabic! 🎧📰 Aftonbladet and Alkompis have teamed up to launch a unique version of Aftonbladet Daily – Sweden’s largest news podcast – now in Arabic, thanks to groundbreaking AI dubbing technology. This makes it the first journalistic audio product in the world to use AI to offer a version in another language, giving Arabic-speaking listeners exclusive insights into Swedish news and society. The project is focused on providing news information relevant to the Arabic-speaking population in Sweden, which might be hard to access due to language barriers, "We see huge potential in making Aftonbladet Daily’s journalism accessible to a broader audience," says Martin Schori, deputy editor-in-chief at Aftonbladet. The podcast will launch at the end of October on Acast, YouTube, and TikTok. Could this be a game-changer for bridging the information gap? 🌍 #AI #newsmedia #technology #journalism #Arabic

This E24 initiative will provide readers with more in-depth analyses 📰💡 As of September 1st, E24.no has launched a dedicated commentary department, led by political editor Torbjørn Røe Isaksen. The new team, featuring experienced commentators like Sindre Heyerdahl, Johann D. Sundberg and Ina Vedde-Fjærestad, is committed to delivering sharper, more in-depth analyses on national and global economic developments. "It’s more important than ever to provide readers with thorough analyses that put events in a broader context," says Røe Isaksen. The spread of misinformation and fake news is increasing — making the news landscape fragmented and difficult for users. By placing news in a broader context, analyses through commentary journalism can help enhance the public’s understanding of complex issues.

How can you trust what the news is telling you? 🤔 In a world filled with AI-generated images and disinformation, it’s getting harder and harder for users to know whether what they see and read is authentic or not. For photojournalist Stein Bjørge at Aftenposten, authenticity is key. He emphasises that the credibility of news lies in honest, unmanipulated photography. “Aftenposten should be associated with credibility and authenticity. Therefore, the images we publish must be authentic. I can adjust photos with lighting and technique, but I cannot manipulate them or add or remove elements,” says Bjørge. Yet, disinformation is becoming more sophisticated, with social media flooded by fake images from major news events. Aftonbladet's deputy editor Martin Schori stresses the importance of verification and newsroom collaboration to combat this growing issue. "Research shows that just the awareness that it’s possible to manipulate information makes people suspicious even of ‘true’ information,” says Schori. 🔗 Read the full story on how Schibsted Media fights disinformation via the link the comment section. #Journalism #Disinformation #TrustInMedia
