Automated news refers to the use of algorithms and artificial intelligence to generate, curate, and distribute news content without human intervention. This field encompasses natural language processing, machine learning, and data analysis to produce timely and relevant news articles, often based on real-time data and user preferences.

Key research themes

1. How do readers perceive the credibility, quality, and discernibility of automated news compared to human-written news?

This research area investigates readers' assessment of software-generated news articles in terms of credibility, quality, objectivity, and whether such content is distinguishable from that produced by human journalists. Understanding audience reception is crucial for adoption, trust-building, and ethical ramifications in automated journalism.

Key finding: Through an experimental study, this paper found that software-generated news is generally perceived as descriptive, boring, and objective. Importantly, readers did not consistently discern it from comparable articles written... Read more
Key finding: Evaluating a real-time automated news system (NewsRobot), the study revealed that users preferred individualized personalized news but paradoxically judged it as less credible. Additionally, while multimodal presentations... Read more
Key finding: This study demonstrated that AI-assisted tools with explainable features enhance users' accuracy in detecting bias and reliability issues in news articles. However, efficacy varied depending on the user profile: frequent... Read more
Key finding: The paper further discusses that while software-generated news is perceived as objective, it can be regarded as boring, raising implications for journalistic practice in balancing automated content’s efficiency and reader... Read more

2. What roles do automated and algorithmic systems play in newsroom workflows and the dissemination of news content on digital platforms?

Research in this area explores how automation technologies, such as algorithmic news recommenders, news bots, and code-driven editorial tools, integrate within newsrooms and social media, transforming gatekeeping, agenda-setting, and news distribution. It addresses the interplay between human journalists and automation in content selection, personalization, and publication processes.

Key finding: Through expert interviews with innovation labs at prominent news organizations, the study reveals that algorithmic news recommenders (ANRs) influence newsroom operations by changing gatekeeping speed and news selection... Read more
Key finding: By analyzing 59 open-source mobile news apps’ source code, the research demonstrates how embedded algorithms serve as technological actants encoding journalistic decisions about news filtering and prioritization. This... Read more
Key finding: Evaluating the Algorithm Tips tool with professional journalists, the study showed that semi-automated computational news discovery aids journalists' attention management and editorial decision-making by highlighting... Read more

3. How is Artificial Intelligence reshaping news production processes and what are the ethical, professional, and practical implications?

This theme covers AI’s multifaceted applications in news media, including natural language generation, generative AI tools, newsroom automation, and synthetic media creation. It explores the transformation in journalistic labor, changing workflows, ethical challenges such as bias and transparency, and future prospects for AI-human collaboration in journalism.

Key finding: This comprehensive survey identifies key AI subfields—machine learning, computer vision, and planning/scheduling—as predominately deployed in newsrooms. The study highlights that AI integration is widespread yet often... Read more
Key finding: Semi-structured interviews with early adopters expose 16 distinct uses of generative AI tools across news reporting processes, primarily in production and distribution. Journalists express optimism about efficiency gains and... Read more
Key finding: This exploratory study of four synthetic media outlets reveals emergent fully automated newsrooms operated solely by algorithms without human journalists. It discusses operational models, content types, and the early trend... Read more
Key finding: The paper also contemplates implications for journalism practice, including how automated news methods shift journalistic roles, the potential devaluation of traditional journalistic labor, and the reframing of journalism as... Read more
