headline: Integrating Artificial Intelligence in Journalism Education: Curricular Gaps and Educator Perspectives From Bangladesh
dek: Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming journalism and creating challenges for journalism education. Guided by Diffusion of Innovations theory, this study examines AI integration in journalism education in Bangladesh. Using a qualitative multi-method design, the study analyzed 21 curricula from 17 universities and interviewed 18 journalism educators, including 12 faculty members and 6 department heads. Findings reveal limited formal AI integration despite educators’ recognition of its professional importanc…

quick_read: Researchers examined how artificial intelligence is being built into journalism education in Bangladesh. They reviewed 21 curricula from 17 universities and interviewed 18 journalism educators, made up of 12 faculty members and 6 department heads.

The results suggest that students may be trained for a newsroom environment shaped by AI while their programs offer little formal instruction in it. The abstract points to reform needs, but it does not report how curricula have changed since or what outcomes graduates experience.
limitation: 
tag: Evidence-backed problem
key_points: The study used a qualitative multi-method design combining curriculum analysis and interviews. | It covered 21 curricula from 17 universities. | Eighteen educators were interviewed: 12 faculty members and 6 department heads. | Barriers named include infrastructure, expertise, funding, and policy constraints. | The authors call for context-sensitive curriculum reform, sustained faculty development, and practical AI training.
rundown: The research was guided by Diffusion of Innovations theory, which frames how new technologies are taken up by individuals and institutions. Applied here, it helps explain why educators can value AI while their institutions have not adopted it.

The gap identified is between individual recognition of AI's importance and institutional adoption. Constraints in infrastructure, expertise, funding, and policy shape that gap.

The recommendations focus on curriculum reform fitted to local context, ongoing training for faculty, and hands-on AI instruction for students.
