Reuters launched an in-house tool that brings more automation into financial news. The tool, Lynx Insight, helps reporters to find more stories in data and surface facts. It’s the latest launch as part of the organization’s drive to become a ‘cybernetic newsroom’ in which they combine the best of machine capability and human judgement for better journalism.

Lynx Insight can’t write stories by itself but helps identify facts and potential newsworthy items from financial data. It can analyze patterns in market data to surface worthwhile information to Reuters journalists. It fits in the vision of the automated newsroom at Reuters. They want to automate tasks such as data-mining and gathering insights, which can be presented to human journalists who can better contextualize and report on the findings.
