What I found
The reporter in the war zone isn’t human.
What if the reporter standing in front of an interviewee was a machine? A human journalist could enter a dangerous or remote situation through a telepresence body rather than travelling there physically.
The possibility changes access, cost and the relationship with the person being interviewed. An autonomous version adds another question: who decides which story to follow?
The scenario follows reporting through proxy bodies into the credibility of encounters, new forms of citizen journalism and a changing division between gathering a story and telling it.
