所谓的“机器人”新闻代表着与新闻报道,写作,策展甚至数据分析相关的新闻任务的自动化转变。在本文中,我们考虑将机器人新闻扩展到社交平台领域,并研究使用“新闻机器人”-参与社交网络上新闻和信息传播的自动账户。这些机器人为新闻机构和记者提供了一个有趣的发展机会。特别是,我们分析了Twitter上现有的新闻机器人帐户的样本,以了解目前如何使用新闻机器人,并研究如何使用自动化和算法可能会改变现代媒体环境。基于我们的分析,我们提出了一种设计和编辑决策空间形式的新闻机器人类型学,可以指导设计师定义未来机器人的意图,实用性和功能。拟议的设计空间突出了新闻机器人的局限性(例如,自动评论和意见,算法透明度和问责制)以及新闻机器人可能实现创新的领域,如利基和本地新闻。
So-called “robot” journalism represents a shift towards the automation of journalistic tasks related to news reporting, writing, curation, and even data analysis. In this paper, we consider the extension of robot journalism to the domain of social platforms and study the use of “news bots”—automated accounts that participate in news and information dissemination on social networks. Such bots present an intriguing development opportunity for news organizations and journalists. In particular, we analyze a sample of existing news bot accounts on Twitter to understand how news bots are currently being used and to examine how using automation and algorithms may change the modern media environment. Based on our analysis, we propose a typology of news bots in the form of a design and editorial decision space that can guide designers in defining the intent, utility, and functionality of future bots. The proposed design space highlights the limits of news bots (e.g., automated commentary and opinion, algorithmic transparency and accountability) and areas where news bots may enable innovation, such as niche and local news.
