I was wondering why a newspaper would so positively cover a company trying to outsource reporters' jobs to machines. "In Case You're Wondering, A Real PR Person Wrote This Column."
Same thing that happened with coverage of the Internet back in the 90's. And even if it wasn't fairly obvious what would happen back then to newspapers it certainly was a few years later when it was already happening.
Reporters are usually liberal. And they come from a time where newspapers were profitable and could be idealistic and still make money. They could answer to a higher standard because they didn't have to worry about losing their jobs for money reasons.
As far as right now the ship is going down but they still don't view the threat.
