> The logical extension of this software is to replace the phrase 'earthquake report'. You're asking for a principled, rather than arbitrary, place to insert human writers into the mix? I'd say a human writer might be needed when the story involes human agency; or when there's continuing human interest in the story. There's no value-add for involving a human in the initial notification of a small earthquake; no human angle, no human perspective. If geologists issue a press release saying this presages Los Angeles falling into the ocean, then you need to involve a human. Robots can't yet parse human political language (neither can most humans), so there's a possible value-add for interpretation of a presidential press release by an expert human. Leaks and declarations of war involve human agency, and are assured of continuing human interest. Get a human to interpret them.
