I think you nailed it. Essentially, what they are up to is to automate the content production, because that could make them (not those journalists) rich. Demand Media did it with how-to articles using SEO, now these guys wants to do that with journalism. Much harder task, IMHO. Good luck...

The YC motto: make something people want. Journalists do not want to be exploited for pennies, so that is not a product we would be involved in.

I would not be happy getting rich by exploiting others, and newslabs won't be involved in anything like that.
