This pre-conference asks how journalism can imagine, and more importantly, realise alternatives to the infrastructural dependencies that shape news in platform societies (van Dijck et al., 2018). News organizations increasingly depend on external digital platforms, cloud services, recommender systems, audience analytics, artificial intelligence tools, content moderation systems, and other infrastructures that condition how journalism is produced, distributed, measured, and governed (Dodds et al., 2023).
