Journalism is in a state of crisis. Profitable outlets are driven by clickbait; unprofitable activities like investigative journalism or local news reporting simply disappear. How can we fix this?
Perhaps automation can help:
- Help writers be more productive
- Make marketing and distribution easier
- Make data-driven journalism easier for all
wordpressr is an attempt to bring more automation, and the ensuing benefits, to journalism and publishing in general. For a more thorough look at how to get started, please see the wordpressr vignette.
