Automating news discovery in real-time

Talk outline

  • How media works
    • There's a difference in positioning: in-depth vs breaking news
    • Crunch in talent, margin pressures. Not enough staff to 'break news'
    • Sources of breaking news: agencies, in-house, competition, social media
    • Increasingly, social media is a dominant source
  • How can we source social media data at scale
