Using data collected from 53 headlines on December 21, 2024, the study categorizes news into six thematic groups and evaluates the balance between AI-driven and editor-curated content. The findings reveal that while AI enhances operational efficiency through SEO optimization and personalized recommendations, it disproportionately prioritizes high-engagement topics like Politics and Sports, which account for over 60% of the total headlines. Conversely, underrepresented categories such as Local Stories and Human Interest benefit from editorial oversight, emphasizing the critical role of human intervention in maintaining thematic diversity. The study underscores the need for ethical frameworks, algorithmic transparency, and a balanced integration of AI with editorial practices to ensure inclusivity and uphold journalistic integrity. %K AI-Driven Journalism %K Editorial İ %K ndependence %K Content Diversity %K SEO Optimization %K Digital News Platforms %K Automation %K Habertü %K rk %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=138531
