Episode description

On 4 December 2024 ADM+S invited guest speakers from industry partner organisation the ABC, to be part of a panel titled ‘What is a Public Service Algorithm and Why Might We Need One?’

Providing an alternative to commercial forms of content curation is one of the challenges faced by public service media in the digital era. The conversation explores how automated recommendation systems might support the mission of public service media in Australia.

This conversation moderated by ADM+S Chief Investigator Prof Mark Andrejevic, features Angela Ross, Research Lead at ABC News Strategy and Innovation, Laura Gartry, Innovation Lead at ABC Digital and National News, Stuart Watt, Head of News Strategy and Innovation at ABC, and ADM+S Associate Investigator Assoc Prof James Meese.
