    “The curating of stories from news organisations and selection of headlines and pictures for the MSN site is currently done by journalists.

    Artificial intelligence will perform these news production tasks, ...”

      Journalism is already a mono culture already so the threat of loss of diversity is non existent.

        Yes because liberal and conservative journalists constitute a mono culture.

          Um main stream media is a mono culture. In fact you can’t survive in main stream media if you veer from the party line. Even Dorsey shit himself and succumbed to his friends.

          I’m sure fox will be just fine.

            So journalism is a mono culture because mainstream media is a monoculture. That's like a guy saying "all women are gold diggers" because that describes his ex-wife.

              It seems tautological to say mainstream media is ideological when you have an ideological litmus test for your definition of mainstream.

              There's no way NewsCorp's US properties would be excluded from any non-ideological definition of mainstream.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                  How is Murdoch not mainstream media? Never mind just looking at the US - look at his organization globally.

                  It doesn't get more mainstream.

                  I was only joking

                      Mainstream media = liberal media. Conservative media can't be considered mainstream because "mainstream" means to have power over.

                            One of the few definitive state we have, is percent of registered Democrats in journalism and what percentage of journalists contributed to Trump's campaign and what percentage contributed to Hillary's.

                            In both examples, the overwhelming majority of journalists are Democrats and their money went mostly (over 80%) to Ms. Clinton.

                            That in itself, does not prove bias in their reporting. But I also don't have to know a fish has been dead for awhile when I smell it...

                                    2016, before the election when it was quite sure that Hillary would win. Having a data point now would be quite interesting, except for the fact they are mostly enlisted folk so I don’t think they represent anything but the population at large.
