Focusing on the intersections of news media, artificial intelligence, and data governance, this open-access book examines how contemporary information ecosystems are reshaping democratic life. It brings together state-of-the-art research to explore how data-driven technologies, platform power, and evolving media systems influence public communication, accountability, and trust.
Through critical analysis of policy, regulation, and technological change, the volume investigates the challenges facing democracy in increasingly automated and data-driven societies. By mapping current knowledge and identifying key gaps, the book contributes to a deeper understanding of how information ecosystems can both support and undermine democratic values in the digital age.
