Computable News Ecosystems: Roles for Humans and Machines
David Caswell · 2016
Two contrasting paradigms for structuring news events and storylines are identified and described: the automated paradigm and the manual paradigm.A specific manual news structuring system is described, and the highlevel results of three reporting experiments conducted using the system are presented.In light of these results I then compare automated and manual approaches and argue that they are complementary.A proposal for integrating automated and manual techniques within a structured news ecosystem is presented, and recommendations for integrated approaches are provided.
