"Our Audience is a Machine": Structured Stories and the Computation of Journalistic Context

Sat, June 11, 9:30 to 10:45, Fukuoka Hilton, Navis A

Abstract

This paper describes the findings of three months of field research on the computational journalism project Structured Stories. It discusses the operations, ideologies, and institutional routines of Structured Stories, and analyzes the underlying computational cultures that seem to intersect with the larger belief patterns of traditional journalism. It concludes with an analysis some of the ways that a deeper understanding of the work routines of Structured Journalism might help us understand general trends, tensions, and critical junctures common to digital news production in general.
