  Pink slime news outlets automatically produce low-quality, often partisan
content that is framed as authentic local news. Given that local news is
trusted by Americans and is increasingly shutting down due to financial
distress, pink slime news outlets have the potential to exploit local
information voids. Yet, there are gaps in understanding of pink slime
production practices and tactics, particularly over time. Hence, to support
future research in this area, we built a dataset of over 7.9M articles from
1093 pink slime sources over 2.5 years.
