Exploring the benefits of FOSS for journalism in the Global South.
One idea to strengthen journalism in developing countries is by expanding the use of open-source software in news production. Jairo Lugo-Ocando, a professor of journalism at Northwestern University in Doha, Qatar, explains.
Media consultant and Syracuse University professor Vin Crosbie explains why clear metadata structures and efficient workflows will be what makes or breaks news organisations of the future.
Unlike many CMSs, which jettison production data at the end of publishing, in Superdesk, those bytes are saved and reused by the Analytics Module, helping newsroom managers answer key questions about their internal operations.
Developed in partnership with the Australian Associated Press, the Analytics Module is designed to help newsrooms powered by Superdesk, our open-source newsroom management software, answer key questions about their production processes.
