Nele Goutier
Nele Goutier specializes as a researcher, lecturer, and educational developer at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and journalism. She enjoys working on creative ways to translate the insights from her scientific research into journalistic practice and education.
At the beginning of 2024, Nele received a Senior Fellowship from NRO, with which she leads a team that, over two and a half years, is developing an AI curriculum for the School of Journalism to make future journalists AI-literate. “AI expertise in journalism is urgently needed in a time when AI influences society in every possible way, and legislation is lagging behind. Who else is keeping an eye on things?”
The project is a follow-up on her research project From Glass Box to Glass Box, for which she examined the impact of AI on Dutch journalism (a collaboration with NOS, RTL News, Wageningen University, the University of Vienna, the NPO Ombudsman, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, and Fontys University of Applied Sciences). Based on her insights, Nele launched the website www.journalistiek-en-ai.nl, where journalism students and teachers can find accessible explanations of AI through journalistic examples and teaching materials.
At the School of Journalism, Nele teaches research and writing skills. She also developed an Honors course in which journalism students collaborate with AI students from Radboud University. “With such a complex and often intimidating subject, the best approach is simply to get started. We killed two birds with one stone: our students gained more AI knowledge, and the AI students practiced making technical material understandable.”
Previously, Nele worked on the Immersive Journalism project, which explored innovative forms of journalistic storytelling (a collaboration with NOS, KRO-NCRV, VPRO, NTR, the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, the University of Amsterdam, and the University of Vienna).
Nele gained experience as a writer and multimedia journalist for national and international media, including Human, Philosophy Magazine, RTL News, Radio Netherlands Worldwide, Villamedia, OneWorld, Accra Report, Ghana Star, the Journalism Innovation Fund, and Het Parool. With a grant from the Fund for Special Journalistic Projects, she also conducted journalistic research on the use of algorithms by Dutch municipalities. For Villamedia, she writes a biweekly newsletter on AI developments in the media. She also has a regular column on AI in the magazine.
Nele graduated Cum Laude in 2015 from the two-year international master's program Journalism, Media & Globalization at Aarhus University (Denmark) and the University of Amsterdam. Before that, she completed a Bachelor's in Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies in Nijmegen, studied Political Science in Montpellier (France), and attended a summer school on Documentary Directing in Havana (Cuba).
