Robot journalism is an algorithm which made and function to converse facts or new knowledges that are combined from data, which will be made as a simple report. The process of making this report from robot journalism is using the data mining analysis technique, and this happens in a short period of time, which is only in a few seconds.

Noam L. Latar identified that robot journalism is based on 2 pillars, which is robot journalism is a form of a software which automatically mined new knowledges from data that is provided on the internet, and the second one is that the robot journalism is an automatic algorithm which can converse data to be a reading material without any human contribution in it.

History

The practice of robot journalism was first be done by Ken Schwencke on 2014. Back at the time, Ken as a journalist and also a programmer from Los Angeles Times, produces a story or a news about an earthquake that hit the South California, with the help of a robot. Based on his statement, there was no editing on the news and just purely based on the algorithm which he made, until the news about the earthquake was finished.

Then, on 2016, the Washington Post use the Heliograph technology to produce many reports about the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.

4.0. Industry and Robot Journalism

The industry surely will keep continuously growing as the time changes. The growth of the technology in the industry will also give a great impact in the journalism world. In the 4.0. industry, digital technology will be helped with the interconnectivity of the Internet of Things (IoT), the access to data in real-time, and the introduction of the Cyber Physical Production System (CPPS).

The 4.0. Industry made every system which has been used to be "smart". Journalist will be facilitated to maximized their routine such as in researching and data mining with the Artificial Intelligence (AI) system. The smart system will input the data in real-time so it can give the audience an actual information. Besides that, with the presence of AI in the 4.0. industry, not only journalist that will be facilitated, but also the news audience. The news that are being offered will be personalized just like what the user needs.

Advantages and Disadvantages

With the smart system, where the robot is programmed to do tasks with a minimum human contribution, it is surely will be more efficient for the journalism industry to do the whole routine process. The robot is also made in many forms, sizes, and functions.

On the other side, this robot journalism can not control the quality and the plagiarism of their own news. The product's credibility will be always questionable. The human journalist verification rule can be ignored if all of these news is made by a digital journalism system, such as the robot journalism. The presence of this robot journalism will also trigger crimes, if there's no any human journalist contribution in it.
