CNTI’s Summary
Digital platforms subtly guide how we create and discover content. People around the world increasingly rely on digital intermediaries for news and information, and newsrooms must now optimize online content for clicks, shareability and engagement. In this environment, ensuring that algorithmic selection incentivizes high-quality information plays an important role in promoting an informed public, protecting an independent press and enhancing platform credibility. Alongside the need for legal and organizational policy to promote platform transparency, cross-industry collaboration is critical to ensuring that platform algorithms select and prioritize fact-based, independent news content.
