AI is going to change journalism – here's how

At RADAR, journalists develop templates for AI to fill in with local data. These templates include "fragments of text and logical if-then-else rules for how to translate the data into location-specific text," according to its website. Data journalists have to come up with various angles and storylines, and then do some reporting to "add broad-strokes background information and national context, which are written into a template with a basic story structure." The result is stories with a similar core structure but with local details. Using AI, one data journalist can produce around 200 regional stories for each template every week, RADAR said.
