My new report surveys how journalists and their newsrooms are using artificial intelligence and their attitudes and approaches towards the technology.

Who are UK journalists? How do they work? What do they think? And how has all this changed in the last decade? My new report answers these questions.

Our new study has found that readers find traditionally-crafted news articles more comprehensible than articles produced with automation. Deficiencies readers perceive in the automated articles’ handling of numbers and word choice partly explain why they were harder to understand.
