What they ask for — in their own terms
AI in the media must serve ethically-produced journalism, comply with the Global Charter of Ethics, and be governed by negotiated standards rather than imposed by employers.
What they do
Issued IFJ Recommendations on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (June 2024) with global unions, and adopted a Global Framework Agreement on Artificial Intelligence in the Media (May 2026). Coordinates an AI working group across affiliated national unions.
What a newcomer can do
Join or contact your national journalists' union and ask them to apply the IFJ Recommendations in your next collective agreement — the IFJ works through affiliates, not individuals.
Worth knowing
No individual membership — everything runs through your national union. Framework agreements are only as strong as each affiliate's ability to enforce them locally.
