Our New Publishing Platform Will Make You a Better Writer

Forbes has been publishing hundreds of articles a day for more than five years. As a Data Scientist, when I hear about that volume of data, the first thing that jumps to mind is: what can we learn from it? Are there best practices we can glean? We started by looking at what colleagues are doing with their own systems. We really enjoyed reading about BuzzFeed's in-house headline A/B testing system, about the New York Times' clever image cropping application, and also about the Washington Posts' feature-rich CMS-for-hire Arc Publishing, among others.
