As both the news business and the technology landscape continue to change in unpredictable ways, this year’s NewsXchange conference on the theme of ‘redefining journalism’ takes place 30 November - 1 December in Copenhagen.
Open-source newsroom platform Superdesk has gone live at Australia’s national news agency, powering reporting operations in bureaus across the country (and in New Zealand and London sites) and driving production at - and global content distribution to customers from - its central newsroom in Sydney.
There’s no quick fix for keeping pace with digital innovation in the news industry, but one thing is for sure, the usage of APIs should be fundamental in any digitally-oriented newsroom looking to keep pace with quickly-changing trends. What is an API and why is it important? What is the role of APIs in the newsroom? How can they be used for monetising journalism? We make the case for APIs.
Like many words these days, the word ‘innovation’ has lost a lot of its currency through overuse. In this blogpost, our Director of Innovation, Douglas Arellanes explains how we make innovation meaningful in Sourcefabric and how we make sure that innovation keeps moving in all directions to benefit newsrooms worldwide.
One of the most exciting things about open source Superdesk is the community of partners and contributors that surround it. Welcome to our newest Superdesk partner, NTB, or the Norwegian News Agency (Norsk Telegrambyrå). NTB has adopted the Superdesk content platform to better serve their editorial needs and to contribute to the development of the system.
