The event, marking the 10th edition of the Computation+Journalism Symposium (C+J) and the 4th edition of the European Data and Computational Journalism Conference (datajconf), was jointly hosted for the first time in Zurich. It was also a notable occasion as the C+J Symposium was held outside of the United States for the first time. The conference brought together professionals from industry, academia, and journalism to foster a multifaceted dialogue on information, data, social, and computer sciences. The objective was to propel research and practice in the extensive field of Data and Computational Journalism. This event served as a platform for journalists and researchers to interact, allowing news organizations to engage with computational and social scientists, and explore innovative practices that benefit the public. The first day of the conference, dedicated to workshops, took place at the Tamedia HQ (TX Group), in Zurich. A key focus of the conference's program was the impact of Artificial Intelligence in the media sector. The agenda included a diverse array of talks, discussions. Topics covered were the future of AI in news, deepfake ethics, natural language processing (NLP), algorithmic accountability, data journalism, newsroom automation, and many other issues.
