Journalism robots: Here right now?

This is an interesting story (with plenty of links) on the subject of automated journalism. Now we had a couple editors at the Flint Journal who tried to make all of us into their mind-numbed robots, but we resisted, but apparently there is actually a move on to make it so.

    Maybe a robot editor would know "pleads" is the verb and "pleas" is the plural noun...

    Of course, this story is insane. 138K to the Flushing athletic director!
