NewsTECHForum 2025: Remote Production & The Nonstop News Cycle

Reporters and producers often spend most of their time in the field, gathering, editing, versioning and even distributing news and nearly always working remotely. “Remote Production & the Nonstop News Cycle,” a panel at TVNewsCheck’s NewsTECHForum on Dec. 16 at the New York Hilton, will look at how newsrooms have adapted to this significant change and how well technology is keeping up and providing new ways to produce, version and distribute content from anywhere.

Speakers are Ernie Ensign, AVP, news technology and operations, Sinclair; Erik Smith, VP of news operations and technology, Fox Television Stations; Sam Singal, group VP of editorial and content, Spectrum Networks; and Joe Addalia, VP broadcast technology, Hearst Television. TVNewsCheck Contributing Editor Glen Dickson will moderate the discussion.

“The tools are in place to keep journalists almost constantly where they most need to be — the field — so how are news organizations taking best advantage of that to elevate their news product?” said Michael Depp, chief content officer, NewsCheckMedia, and editor of TVNewsCheck. “This discussion will look at the newest innovations in content sharing and where and how remote production is advancing news storytelling for the consumers’ benefit.”

Now in its 12^th year and co-located with the Sports Video Group Summit, NewsTECHForum gathers technology, news and digital executives, managers and professionals from linear TV, streaming and FAST, digital/mobile and video-centric news publishing to talk about workflow and business challenges facing their sector of the wider media world.

Sessions Include:

Technology Leaders on Optimizing News Workflows — News producers have to log into many different platforms to produce, edit and distribute their stories and in too many newsrooms, storycentric workflows are still not a working reality. What do technology vendors and media organizations need to do to transform workflows and unleash producers to create content more easily?

AI in Action: News Workflows Evolving Today —  News organizations are approaching AI carefully, as they design ways to use it without harming credibility. How are operations and news leaders incorporating AI in storytelling and multiplatform production and distribution?

News Everywhere: Maximizing Audience in a Multiplatform World — News organizations need to break news instantly and engage audiences on all platforms. How are the best news operations, editorial and technology providers making multiplatform production and distribution seamless and fast? What tools are emerging to turn legacy news production into tomorrow’s content engine?

Breaking Out With Best-in-Class Digital — Digital platforms — web, apps, social and podcasts — have too often been an afterthought behind streaming and linear for TV news. How can organizations approach these platforms more imaginatively, using AI and other technologies to create more robust, engaging and dynamic news products? What are breakout leaders doing in this space?

News Storytellers on the Cutting Edge — What can traditional newsrooms learn from independent journalists / creators about engaging and building audiences with storytelling? What tech stack are they using and how is that evolving in a multiplatform world? How are they repurposing their content for traditional media?

How Will AI Revolutionize the News Product? — Futurists imagine how AI in many different forms will change, perhaps dramatically, the way news is gathered, produced and delivered to consumers.
