Este é o título da entrevista que o Online Journalism Review publicou com Adrian Holovaty, o guru de tecnologia do washingtonpost.com.
Para ele, as tarefas básicas do processo de produção jornalístico (Gathering information; Distilling information e Presenting information) podem ser automatizadas para garantir um modo diferente de alcançá-las. Ele explica, por exemplo, como se daria o procedimento em relação à primeira tarefa:
“(…) it’s possible to automate that first step, the gathering of information. That’s how my chicagocrime.org site works. Each weekday, my computer program goes to the Chicago Police Department’s website and gathers all crimes reported in Chicago. Similarly, the U.S. Congress votes database . I helped put together at washingtonpost.com works the same way: Several times a day, an automated program checks several government websites for roll-call votes. If it finds any, it gathers the data and saves it into a database.”
