News journalists turn to AI to uncover breaking stories
Artificial intelligence (AI) company Krzana is providing journalists at the UK's largest news publisher Reach (formerly Trinity Mirror) with an AI news gathering platform. Krzana's platform monitors 60,000 sources of news from the major social networks including Twitter, YouTube, local news sites and blogs and identifies newsworthy events before they trend on social media. The user of Krzana sets up search criteria in advance, creating personalised newsfeeds based on interests and geographical locations. The system then sources text, video and images that match each of these newsfeeds as soon as they're uploaded, including posts with zero views. Krzana will enable journalists in Reach's local newsrooms to uncover pre-trending news stories without requiring individuals to constantly monitor social media to search for breaking news events.
