Talk:Automated journalism

The first use of AI journalism was in the late 1970s early 1980s by the Dow Jones Newswires. Wall Street Journal banking reporter, Edward P. Foldessy, compiled a basic program to write time-sensitive stories about the U.S. money supply for the Dow Jones "ticker." This allowed DJ to disseminate information almost instantly about the nation's money supply which was released each Thursday afternoon. The data was followed very closely by the stock and credit markets. The program gave DJ a considerable time edge in getting a "written" story to the public.

Some Comments...
Good article, well written and neutral. Just wanted to point out that the hyperlink towards media sites doest redirect to any article. Other than that well done. --Chris2.0 (talk) 00:55, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Article is written well, in a clear and neutral manner. As well, the piece is organized appropriately. Sources are reliable. Criticisms section could be developed more thoroughly. Particularly, the unemployment section is underrepresented. Currently, it bears resemblance to your cost section. Perhaps, it can be improved by additional detail like providing some stats on the drop in employment due to automated journalism.Nicolewoo (talk) 06:42, 20 April 2017 (UTC) ItsJodach96 (talk) 22:20, 20 April 2017 (UTC) I plan to contribute to the Article, Automated Journalism. I would like to add to the benefits and criticism sections as they were discussed in the CMNS 235 course contents and readings. As for the criticism section, I will attempt to explain possibilities for the future and where the concept of automated journalism may go.

''Response: Thanks for your feedback, Nicole. As suggested, I elaborated on the employment section by adding some stats about the decline of jobs. ''Rgabriel21 (talk) 08:28, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Neutrality? There was a whole section of uninformative and biased opinion. Has someone vandalised this article in the last 3 years? It also needs updating. I've added some more opinion and links from 2020 but things have moved on a lot and we could do with adding in more examples and updating some of the benefits and criticisms to reflect where we are now. For example, tech has evolved rapidly.SandrinaHatman (talk) 15:46, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

Article content
This article seems like it was written a long time ago. It seems like a very detailed list of hypothetical pros and cons of a future technology. The intro says "As of 2016, only a few media organizations have used automated journalism". At this point News Corporation publishes 3,000 AI generated articles per day, I believe.

Now that we're living in the future should it not lead with a "History" section detailing the growing usage of AI in journalism to this day? I'll create one if I have time and nobody has objections. Or the benefits and criticism sections could be the start of the history section - maybe it could be called "initial reception" or something like that? 20WattSphere (talk) 09:57, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
