AI in the Newsroom
Everything You Need to Become Tomorrow's Journalist
By Martin Schori · Self-published, English edition
In the middle of the biggest technological shift in the history of journalism, we face a question we can't dodge: How do we use AI in a way that strengthens journalism — instead of watering it down?
AI in the Newsroom is a practical guide to artificial intelligence for journalists and editors, written by Martin Schori — former AI editorial lead at Aftonbladet, one of Scandinavia's largest newsrooms. The book covers real-world AI workflows, editorial risks, and lessons from newsrooms across nine countries.

About the book
Martin Schori built Aftonbladet's AI operation from the ground up. In this book he shares both the mistakes and the breakthroughs — and shows, concretely, how newsrooms can adopt new technology without losing what actually makes journalism valuable.
This is a book about journalism, not technology. At a time when technology is changing everything.
In the book you'll find
- AI in the daily reality of journalism — for real.
- Concrete examples and tools you can try today.
- Successes and failures from newsrooms at the cutting edge.
- The risks and the pitfalls — and why you should care.
- AI for managers — how to get the whole newsroom on board.
- Smart advice on when AI helps — and when to leave it alone.
- What you'll need to know when AI takes over the boring jobs.
- Plus: personal reflections, some needling, and (at least a few attempts at) humor.
Used as course literature
AI in the Newsroom and Martin's earlier books are used as course literature in journalism programs at Swedish universities.
