Resumen de From Data Journalism to Robotic Journalism: The Automation of News Processing
José Miguel Túñez López, Carlos Toural Bran, Ana Gabriela Nogueira
The 21st century is a reaffirmation of automation and through big data and data journalism begins to speak of the ‘robot journalism’, the ‘automated journalism’ and the weight of ‘cognitive journalism’. This article refers to how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to occupy a field traditionally dominated by the human factor in the management of information relations between organizations, the media and society by the application of data mining to generate algorithms that make it possible to automate the management and derive it to the work of bots in the elaboration of news. It also addresses how the journalistic profession lives apparently oblivious to the robotization of the newsrooms, although the origin of mass automation dates back to 2014 when Associated Press with Automated Insights and Zacks Investment Research generated 3000 news about ‘corporate profits’.
