Okay, I crawled every Niemanlab prediction from 2011 until 2024. Partly out of curiosity but also partly because I was curious about if mentions of "AI" would correlate with mentions of "Content". And… yes, they do.

I may write something in the near future about both, but these two papers are pretty much the best I‘ve read about automation/AI in journalism. Both sketch a very solid, historically grounded basis to explain current anxieties and reactions.
