Data news does not appear out of nowhere. It is the result of the press’s ongoing exploration and innovation as part of the ongoing development of information technology. It is based on early computer-assisted news reporting, statistical news and precise news. In terms of theory and technology, it is a game-changer. The media industry is most sensitive to new technologies and is most willing to apply new technologies in the entire process of news reporting, such as information acquisition, content production and management, and content release, in an era of great changes in the popularity of the Internet and the in-depth application of data processing technology in all walks of life. The data news intelligent production platform investigated and designed in this paper, when combined with current emerging technologies, such as big data, cloud computing, and machine learning algorithms, realizes intelligent and automatic news production, ushering traditional news into an era of intelligence, knowledge, and digitization. Machine learning has made significant progress in the automatic production of data news technology and will continue to do so in the future information society.
