作者：
Highlights：
• This study explores the user perception to automated news in a cross-cultural setting.
• Algorithms began to tap into the core of journalistic practice – writing the news.
• The users evaluated the interaction of authors, media and cultures in reading news.
• U.S. and Chinese users perceived the quality of automated journalism differently.
• U.S. and Chinese users demonstrated more shared, rather than different, perceptions.
