Earlier this week, I attended TVNewsCheck #NewsTECHForum 2023 in New York and witnessed many insightful discussions on the challenges of news organization to deliver compelling content to fragmented audiences. It was a privilege to share my thoughts in the panel discussion "Building the architecture of more collaborative content creation" featuring industry news leaders Meredith McGinn, Kate O’Brian, Kengo Tsutsumi, Lee Zuri, and moderator Michael Depp.
Here are my 3 takeaways from the session 🎤
1️⃣ Collaboration Beyond Boundaries
Collaboration is essential to the process of news making but does not need to take place within the physical walls of the traditional newsroom. Journalists work together across organizations, making the best stories, so they can be delivered to their audience. Collaboration encourages fast and effective story delivery while maintaining quality.
2️⃣ People-Centric Newsrooms
We need to build newsroom systems around how people work today to deal with the intensity of information flow and non-stop news cycles. The key to enabling collaboration, in and out of the newsroom, is visibility. Dalet solutions provide visibility on source material, available content, and news in the making. Visibility on task assignments and activities across teams, locations, stations. More collaboration to make better stories, faster.
3️⃣ Simplifying Creativity with Automation
Newsroom systems can hide the complexity of the news production and fabrication process. By automating the technical part of the work, editors and producers can focus on the creative aspects that are important to viewers. As my co-panelist from NBCUniversal Local kindly said: "Through Dalet's automation, we no longer need to take unnecessary extra 5-6 steps to develop a story."
Thanks to everyone who joined us. Until next time, #NewsTECHForum
