Emerging Trends in Digital News: History, Context and Innovation at the Intersection of Content and Technology
Two decades into the internet publishing, news production and distribution models have forever changed. This presentation and discussion will feature a brief history of the digital evolution of US Media through case studies of several leading US media companies including The New York Times, Yahoo News and Wall Street Journal. We will look at business and product development approaches, trends in national, local and investigative reporting and how data-science is contributing to innovation in the production and analysis of story trends through semantic, social, data and computer assisted reporting and data visualization techniques. We will discuss trends, product development frameworks and look at trend setting work at the intersection of content and technology.
