Journalism With so many news websites looking for faster ways to scoop their competitors it was only a matter of time before real people would be replaced by algorithmic systems.
The Online Journalism Review profiles 'Newsblaster': "The computer, a natural language processing algorithm, uses artificial intelligence techniques to cull through news reports published online, sort them, and summarize them. It does not simply lift sentences to use as the summary. Instead, Newsblaster uses natural language processing techniques to read what is written in published news reports." Will this mean a return to dispassionate reporting?
