新闻编辑室是一个社会环境，其中存在着多种关系并影响新闻工作——无论是与其他记者、观众还是技术。随着其中一些关系因技术创新而发生变化，新的混合环境——与新闻编辑室价值观、惯例和社会文化经验交织在一起的技术——可能会出现。一个关键问题是记者如何概念化这些技术并与之互动，以及他们在这一过程中保留（创造性）能动性的程度。因此，本研究评估了自动化新闻和新闻角色概念的交叉点。本研究以哈尼茨奇和沃斯的新闻角色循环模型（2017）和杜兹对新闻作为意识形态的理解（2005）作为理论框架，通过询问以下问题来检验自动化新闻的一些话语方面：自动化新闻在多大程度上（a）挑战或（b）提升了新闻角色？我们的研究结果与后者更为一致，表明记者的角色及其核心技能具有强烈的话语维护意识，从而表明在面对工业颠覆时意识形态具有高度的连续性。最后提出了未来研究的议程，并强调，当新闻业和自动化交叉时，该领域将受益于纳入人机通信等新兴概念框架。
Newsrooms are a social context in which numerous relationships exist and influence news work—be it with other journalists, the audience, and technology. As some of these relations change due to technological innovations, new hybrid contexts—technologies that are interwoven with newsroom values, routines, and socio-cultural experiences—can emerge. One key question is how journalists conceptualise and interact with such technologies, and to what degree they retain (creative) agency in the process. Therefore, this study evaluates the intersection of automated journalism and journalistic role conceptions. Using Hanitzsch’s and Vos’s circular model of journalistic roles (2017) and Deuze’s understanding of journalism as an ideology (2005) as a theoretical framework, this study examines some of the discursive aspects of automated journalism by asking: To what extent are journalistic roles (a) challenged or (b) advanced as a result of automated journalism? Our findings more closely align with the latter, pointing to a strong sense of discursive maintenance of journalists’ roles and their core skillset and thus suggesting a high degree of ideological continuity in the face of industrial disruption. It concludes with an agenda for future research and stresses that at times when journalism and automation intersect, the field would benefit from incorporating emerging conceptual frameworks such as human–machine communication.
