First of all, you need to pick the subject. Then, you need to find information about the subject and we can think that this part is made online, but the journalist is supposed to be in the field to really comprehend what is happening. Also, for a journalisitc work, we need pictures that probably can't be taken by robots because a picture should, before anything else, create emotion. And the most important thing that can't and won't be replaced by an AI (if so, we human are probably dead) is the sensibility, the point of view, the detail, the humanity of an article.
So maybe, what could be made by the AI, in my opinion, is the writing. We could for instance create an AI software that create a really good journalistic text if we give it all the information found and the point of view and feeling we want to give to the article.
For talking heads on CNN, sure... I'm not sure how AI will impact them, and I frankly don't think a lot about people in those jobs. For journalists who have the unfortunate job of churning out and aggregating the hell out of as many local stories as possible (think Newsweek, NYPost, and any major New York media outlet), those dudes will probably be easy to replace. Honestly, though, I hope we just move on from that s*** as an industry.
After all, they are pre-programmed mathematical machines with some information over the internet, that is, without the internet they cannot live, after all they are computers. Creativity, on the other hand, is diverse and does not need Information to exist and just see a child who has never had knowledge in any area or has any previous information, she is already creative
In conclusion, I foresee that a notable amount of journalists will lose their jobs due to the AI.
