Algorithmic

 I thought the reading this week was interesting especially in how it contrasted the author's idea of "professional journalism" where the audience is rarely thought of to "algorithmic journalism" where the opposite is true. I also liked how the author made sure to recognize that the relationship can too easily be oversimplified, which i think is often very tempting to do. It's good to recognize the advantages and new abilities that big data and technology gives us, but i think the author is saying we need to continue to put a critical eye to it and not get swept away in the wave of newness.
