Call for Papers: Oxford Intersections

Oxford Intersections has launched a call for papers, inviting abstracts for new interdisciplinary research articles on topics related to news, journalism, and trust in AI-shaped information environments. In 2025, Oxford University Press launched a new type of resource: Oxford Intersections.

Oxford Intersections reflects the critical role that peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research plays in helping policy- and decision-makers tackle the world’s most complex and urgent challenges. The section “News, Journalism, and Trust in the Age of Generative AI” within the Social Media in Society and Culture Intersection examines how generative artificial intelligence is transforming contemporary news and information ecosystems.

• Generative AI, synthetic news, and the erosion or transformation of epistemic trust in digital information environments

• Media bias in the age of algorithmic amplification, including personalization systems, recommender infrastructures, and audience perceptions of bias
• The shifting balance between journalistic authority and platform power in shaping news visibility and distribution
• Misinformation and disinformation in the context of AI-enhanced virality, including echo chambers, polarization, and amplification dynamics
• Synthetic media and deepfakes in news and political communication
