Is automation in journalism something to fear? Is a robot going to take your job? Possibly, but there are reasons to be cheerful. With some news organisations now breaking live automated stories, these advances in technology provide real opportunities for investigations. This talk will explain the ways automation is already being used in newsrooms, why we don’t believe the coming wave of automation is a threat, and how we can embrace this new technology to improve the quality of investigative reporting at a time of shrinking newsroom resources. We’ll highlight what we think are the five main opportunities.
