How to Stay on Top
of News as a Journalist
The next generation of newsgathering and research tools
for journalists is available now, writes Jesse Karjalainen,
Corporate Communications Manager, SCISYS/ANNOVA Systems...

I

t is no cliché when it comes to
technology and tools to ponder how
quickly things change. Social media
and mobile devices are no longer
"new" but are normal, yet the role of
the journalist has not changed. This
has always been to first gather by
sifting and distilling "the noise", then
rearrange what's important, write it up
and hope that the editor likes it enough
to publish.
The infinite growth of online
platforms, social media and self-

OpenMedia Newsboard -
the integrated news tool

generated media has forever changed
how news is put together. The online
and social worlds now comprise an
additional realm that must not only
must be shared to, but also monitored
and reported on. What is needed to
keep informed as a journalist is an allin one set of research tools fit for the
online world.
The answer is, of course, a
configurable dashboard, app or media
management tool. Anyone can open
a dozen tabs on their web-

browser and monitor social media,
news wires, and video feeds.
ANNOVA Systems' solution is
OpenMedia Newsboard, a leading-edge
research and production tool fit for
today's online news environments and
one built for professionals.
The suite of OpenMedia (OM)
newsroom solutions already comes
in three flavours. The power behind
OM Vision system is that it is geared
towards top-level news planning,
resourcing and scheduling for project
managers. The best in class, flagship
OM Infinity system - and its slimline
variant, OM Now - is the headline tool
for producing the news, from story to
release.
There
are
currently
50,000
OpenMedia
users
worldwide,
newsrooms of the broadcasting
services of ARD HSB, BR, Deutsche

Welle, SRG SRR Group, SWR, WDR,
RTSI, Swiss Radio DRS, RTR, Mediaset,
RFI and RTL TVI.
What sets OM Newsboard apart is
that journalists can use it to monitor,
collate, assemble, write, share, publish
and embed media files into stories
right inside the tool.
It is a fully integrated research
dashboard,
giving
broadcasters,
editors and journalists alike the
valuable ability to tap in to every feed
important feed from a single source.
The
system
automates
synchronization of all work with
central OM servers and opens each
item to editors and colleagues across
the organization. With automated
teleprompters if needed.
The dashboard is the perfect solution
for cross-media workflows. It is no
surprise that leading European news
organizations are rushing to provide
the new OpenMedia solution for their
teams.
The
web-based
OpenMedia
Newsboard from ANNOVA Systems'
tool truly does away with the restraints
of linear workflows. The power of
better research and reporting will
come from instant information, story
centric collaboration and from using a
single tool.
