Robo-journalists are algorithms in software that produce news reports based on provided data. The reports produced by robo-journalists can hit the Internet in several minutes after the news happens.

机器人记者(robo-journalists)指利用指定数据炮制新闻报道的算法软件。机器人记者所写的报道，在新闻事件发生后几分钟内就能在网络发布。

For data-rich stories such as finance stories, sports stories and breaking news where dry facts need to be collated and sent out quickly, robo-journalists are becoming increasingly common. Many large media organizations - including the L.A. Times and Associated Press - have now turned to robots to take the grind out of formulaic dispatches.

机器人记者正在愈来愈多地应用于财经新闻、体育新闻和突发新闻领域。这些领域包含大量数据，需要校对事实“干货”并及时发布。包括《洛杉矶时报》和美联社在内的不少大型媒体机构已经开始使用机器人来炮制公式化的新闻报道。
