What is news automation?
News automation is about building the systems needed to take routine tasks out of the hands of journalists and give them to machines. In doing so, the risk of human error is reduced, stories can be ready to publish more quickly, and reporters are freed up to do what they do best: source stories, work with contacts and write great articles. Moreover, with machines taking on the extra work, content can become more focused, personalised and engaging for readers.
At a time when AI is causing disruption across many sectors, journalism is among those getting to grips with the challenges and possibilities it presents. While Large Language Models and Generative AI are dominating the news agenda, the field of news automation has been developing for years; with our experience, we’re ideally placed to help organisations take advantage of new developments.
“We learnt a lot from Joseph when we consulted him about his experience from Radar.
“He displayed a great understanding of both journalism and code.”
