“…A review of academic articles published in local languages as well as possibly collecting extra empirical data in non-English settings would be critical to fully assessing the reach of automated journalism. Although my corpus is also inclusive of two articles in Spanish that were adapted into English ( Rojas Torrijos, 2019 ; Túñez-Lopez et al , 2019 ), an English version of other articles written in this language is unavailable on the publisher's website ( Sánchez Gonzáles & Sánchez González, 2017 ; Túñez-López et al , 2018 ). The same goes for articles written in French ( Dierickx, 2018 ; Dierickx, 2019 ) and Portuguese ( Carneiro dos Santos, 2016 ), all of which would be especially worth examining as they open a research window not only in Europe, but also in the Americas and in Africa.…”

“…Another area of investigation pertaining to the practice of automated journalism has to do with organisational impacts on newsrooms. In the realm of sports journalism, two separate content analyses found, on the one hand, that commonalities between automated and human-written output prevailed over differences ( Túñez-Lopez et al , 2019 ) and, on the other hand, that human intervention in the editorial process remained important ( Rojas Torrijos, 2019 ). Regarding the use of “news bots” and “chatbots,” 2 a digital ethnography established that news bots could help media outlets reach out to a niche and geo-specific audience, but sometimes lack data transparency ( Lokot & Diakopoulos (2016) .…”

“…Su desarrollo ha conducido a los que Crusafon (2022) define como «medios sintéticos», instancias que se ocupan de generar y difundir contenidos informativos en diferentes formatos sin la intervención del periodista. El proceso se basa en la labor de los algoritmos que recolectan, procesan y razonan sobre datos recogidos del entorno para ofrecer la mejor respuesta a la pregunta u objetivo establecido, dando lugar a un nuevo tipo de periodismo que abunda en etiquetas, como periodismo artificial (Túñez-López et al 2019), automatizado, robot y computacional (Sandoval-Martín; La Rosa-Barrolleta, 2023).…”

“…La continua incorporación de la IA al trabajo periodístico y sus consiguientes beneficios, como los señalados en los casos anteriores, hicieron que el debate dentro de la industria y la profesión se trasladase del temor a una posible sustitución del individuo por la máquina a la preocupación por un correcto encaje de la tecnología con los principios deontológicos de la profesión y la veracidad de los contenidos que se publican (Túñez-López et al, 2019).…”
