Automation in Journalism, Concept, Actor-Network TheoryAbstract
There are different classifications used to define the new forms of production and distribution of news since the popularization of the internet and its technological advances, such as automation. This manuscript search to retrieve the history of the introduction of automation in journalism, proposing an analysis of the concept presented by different authors. Guided by the Actor-Network Theory (TAR), we identified authors who explicitly relate the concept of automation to a collaborative vision between human and non-human players, distancing themselves from the polarization between technology and journalism. This perspective highlights the associations of players in co-creation, collaborative and distributive with a focus on innovative solutions in journalism.
