ABSTRACT
Since the information communication conversion took place during the two last decades of the twentieth century, significant changes occurred in the media industry. The journalistic narrative has been enriched with multimedia and interactive features, but the basic media of communication - that is text, photos and videos - remain constant. The introduction of chatbots in the last 10 years has provided new possibilities for transforming the journalistic narrative by utilizing interactive dialogue that can take place even in the form of nature language. This paper discusses the usage and the actual implementation of chatbot in a news article. The outcome of the study includes a working protype of a news article that embeds a chatbot which provides an additional narrative.
