Improving Journalism Workflow: Automation & Productivity Panel
By BradStenger | January 7, 2008
The speed and volume of today’s news cycle makes it borderline-impossible to do great journalism with anything that isn’t a great journalism process. Another thing about journalism processes is how they have to scale. Each story is its own production, as is each newspaper, newscast, magazine, and website. And then there’s the elephant in the room: News never stops. Computation should help, but how? For the Improving Journalism Workflow: Automation & Productivity panel we assembled writers, editors, and production technologists whose projects are ambitious and innovative. They’ll tell us how they work, how they scale, and how they succeed in an ongoing fashion. The panelists and moderator:
- Alexander Hauptmann, Senior Systems Scientist working on the Informedia: News-on-Demand project at Carnegie Mellon University
- Solana Larsen, co-Managing Editor, GlobalVoicesOnline.org
- Carol Minton Morris, Communications Director, National Science Digital Library and the International Polar Year “Beyond Penguins and Polar Bears” Cyberzine
- Rob Lamb, Director of Customer & Partner Development at Clickability
- Moderator: Kristian Hammond, Co-Director Intelligent Information Lab, Department of Computer Science, Northwestern University
