NewsTECHForum: Tech Leaders On Optimizing News Workflows

News producers have long had 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. “Technology Leaders on Optimizing News Workflows,” apanel at TVNewsCheck’s NewsTECHForum conference on Dec. 16 at the New York Hilton, will examine technology vendors and media organizations need to do to transform workflows and unleash producers to create content more easily.

Speakers are David Gwinn, director of software solutions & system sustainment, Disney/ABC News; Jenna Kreindel, manager, product-editorial solutions, ABC News; Dana Ucciferri, head of video and design, Bloomberg Television; and Erik Hauters, founder, Cuez. TVNewsCheck Contributing Editor Glen Dickson will moderate the discussion.

“Antiquated and cumbersome workflows continue to be the bane of the news industry, but there are signs for hope,” said TVNewsCheck Editor Michael Depp. “This session will dive into how storycentric workflows, better integrated newsroom systems and AI are untangling some of the worst problems, eliminating redundancies and enabling efficiencies that allow for more and better original news content.”

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:

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?

Remote Production & the Non-Stop 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. How have newsrooms adapted to this significant change and how well is technology keeping up and providing new ways to produce, version and distribute content from anywhere? What are the newest innovations in content sharing? How is remote production advancing storytelling?

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.
