The great care that goes into writing “news” these days is so impressive.

Most of these are now "written" at all. They are automated transcripts generated by machines.

Seriously? Well, how is the information compiled?

A great many of these articles are from TV and Radio broadcasts.

A show does a tv news broadcast and the transcript is shown as a print article below.

When you look at them you often see clear clues the machine mistook a pronunciation of one word for another.

This was from a TV station. I suspect a human often gives a quick once-over before it is put out on the net.

I look at a lot of these, and the printed version is just an afterthought.

I have watched many of the videos, and the print is very, very close to word for word what was said in the broadcast.

These are local stations without a lot of resources.
