Abstract: We live in a digital era, with vast technological advancements, which, among others, have a major impact on the media domain. More specifically, progress in the last two decades led to the end-to-end digitalization of the media industry, resulting in a rapidly evolving media landscape. In addition to news digitization, User-Generated Content (UGC) is dominant in this new environment, also fueled by Social Media, which has become commonplace for news publishing, propagation, consumption, and interactions. However, the exponential increase in produced and distributed content, with the multiplied growth in the number of plenary individuals involved in the processes, created urgent needs and challenges that need careful treatment. Hence, intelligent processing and automation incorporated into the Semantic Web vision, also known as Web 3.0, aim at providing sophisticated data documentation, retrieval, and management solutions to meet the demands of the new digital world. Specifically, for the sensitive news and media domains, necessities are created both at the production and consumption ends, dealing with content production and validation, as well as tools empowering and engaging audiences (professionals and end users). In this direction, state-of-the-art works studying news detection, modeling, generation, recommendation, evaluation, and utilization are included in the current Special Issue, enlightening multiple contemporary journalistic practices and media perspectives.
