Robot reporter publishes first news

A robot journalist made its debut in a chinese daily newspaper on Wednesday with a 300 characters long article written in just a second, scientists say. The article was focused on the Spring Festival travel rush. 

Its author, Xiao Nan, took only a second to finish writing the piece and is able to write both short stories and longer reports, according to Wan Xiaojun, a professor at Peking University who leads the team studying and developing such robots.
