ABSTRACT

The "liquid" nature of journalism has become more pronounced with the impact of artificial intelligence, disrupting traditional news production models. This study employs a three-level frame analysis method to examine the 2024 Olympic coverage of NewsGPT, the world's first news website entirely generated by AI, and Reuters, a traditional media outlet. The findings reveal notable similarities in news topics and structures, while highlighting significant differences in the portrayal of individuals and discourse tendencies. This research further explores the performance of AI and traditional media in terms of journalistic professionalism, aiming to provide insights for the better development of traditional media in the face of AI's impact.
