[AI Newsroom: Technology, Principles, and Norms / Choi Seung-jae, Sohn Seung-hye, Lee Su-jin / Communication Books]

<AI Newsroom: Technology, Principles, and Norms> examines AI in the newsroom from a multi-dimensional perspective across three fields: engineering, communication studies, and law.

The essence of AI in the realm of journalism depends not just on technological achievement, but on what data was used and how it was trained.

In the already realized era of AI, the book examines the principles and realities of newsroom organization, operations, and audience education. It also broadly addresses issues such as who should be considered the author of an AI-generated article and the use of copyrighted works in the AI training process.

[Is This French? / Park Jae-yeon / Eung]

<Is That French?> explores the history and culture behind the French words we frequently use.

French words such as baguette, mayonnaise, cafe, restaurant, salon, atelier, amateur, and rendezvous have deeply embedded themselves into our daily lives.

The book traces the journey of language across time and space, unraveling the paths of French words that either came directly from France to Korea or entered via Japan during the modernization process.

[Kumamoto Note / Moon Hye-jung / Danjeong]

<Kumamoto Note> is a record of exploring, learning about, and growing to love the land of water and fire.

It offers the charm of extended travel by experiencing the scenery of Mount Aso, an active volcano spewing smoke, and following in the footsteps of novelist Natsume Soseki.

Along with basic information on Kumamoto's geography, history, and culture, it allows readers to encounter the sensory experiences of the author's actual time seeing, walking, and staying there.
