It’s a tough time to be a journalist.

We hear about how the Internet is threatening print newspapers. Newspapers respond by laying off thousands of writers.

Fortunately some websites are hiring new blood to meet new demand (at much lower wages than in the print industry).

But now some online journalist’s jobs may be threatened as well.

According to this article from NPR, a new software program has been developed to write sports news.

This “Robot” can import sporting score sheets then, after processing that data, produce competent stories about the  games in question.

What next?  Computers arguing on SportsCenter?
