• Abstract: The growing adoption of algorithm-powered tools in journalism enables new possibilities and raises many concerns. One way of addressing these concerns is by integrating journalistic practices and values into the design of algorithms that facilitate different journalistic tasks, from automated content generation to news content distribution. In this chapter, we discuss how such integration can happen. To do this, we first introduce the concepts of algorithms and different perspectives on algorithm design and then scrutinize various journalistic viewpoints on the matter and methodological approaches for studying these perspectives and their translation into specific algorithm-powered journalistic tools. We conclude by discussing important directions for future research, ranging from contextualizing journalistic approaches to algorithm design to accounting for the transformative impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.
