## Abstract (arXiv)

This demo paper introduces the BLAB Reporter, a robot-journalist covering the Brazilian Blue Amazon. The Reporter is based on a pipeline architecture for Natural Language Generation; it offers daily reports, news summaries and curious facts in Brazilian Portuguese. By collecting, storing and analysing structured data from publicly available sources, the robot-journalist uses domain knowledge to generate and publish texts in Twitter. Code and corpus are publicly available
