Predictable Patterns in Sports Journalism Headlines: Can AI Replicate the Expected Structure and Tone?

Abstract

In sports journalism, post-game stories are usually drafted and dispatched within 30 minutes of the game ending. Sports journalists must quickly establish the tone that appropriately expresses a win or a loss. Artificial Intelligence (AI) may offer the help sports writers need to meet the challenge of quickly producing a well-written story with an attention-grabbing headline.
