Full text not available from this repository.In our talk we discuss how the increasing use of AI-driven systems of content distribution impacts the ways readers are exposed to news about wars and conflicts. To do so, we examine the place of algorithmic personalization – i.e. the tailoring of individualized news feeds based on users’ information preferences – in the framework of peace journalism (PJ), a journalistic paradigm calling for more diversified and creative war reporting. Using a conceptual approach, we scrutinize how the deployment of news personalization can mediate – or worsen – pitfalls of PJ paradigm, and present a theoretical framework for analyzing how algorithmic system designs can facilitate constructive conflict coverage.
