@mattwaite Would your students be humans or machines?
Morning thought I can't shake: Could I teach an entire college journalism class in writing stories via algorithm? http://www.niemanlab.org/2014/03/when-robots-help-human-journalists-this-post-was-created-by-an-algorithm-written-by-the-author/ …

@mattwaite weather stories, please. -
@ryansholin@mattwaite Weather is a great example of automated away news reports nobody blinks at. -
@palewire@mattwaite Broadcast meteorologists don't like it when you talk about them that way, Ben. -
@ryansholin@mattwaite I'm thinking more of "the weather page" in the newspaper or smartphone weather widgets. -
@palewire@mattwaite Totally. There should be some achievable ground between the weather page and WaPo's Capital Weather Gang. -
@ryansholin@mattwaite Google Now is already fortifying the beachhead. Newsies busy writing stories about newsies dipping a toe in water.

@mattwaite Auto-generated context in@CensusReporter is one of my favorite little features. https://github.com/censusreporter/censusreporter/blob/master/censusreporter/apps/census/templatetags/madlibs.py … pic.twitter.com/aHIHgn3hZN -
@ryanpitts@mattwaite bringing in data from the whole country would make these even awesomer. -
@iandees@mattwaite We should totally talk to somebody about that! -
@ryanpitts@iandees I doubt@CensusReporter has developers capable of doing such things. Pretty slap-dash organization, I hear ... cough. - View other replies

@mattwaite Yes, please. I want those students. -
@mattwaite Careful -- there may be an algorithm that teaches the write-by-algorithm class better than you do.
