Munich, August 2016: NewsBoard – Flexible dashboards for all sources
Newsroom teams are always on the lookout for new ways of interrogating data and content,
and they want fresh new ways to report and publish the information they create. NewsBoard
is the flexible framework that allows the creation of new Dashboards combining content,
wires, social media and broadcast workflows into a modern web based application.
With NewsBoard the Newsroom can create widgets for any source connected to OpenMedia.
Widgets for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Google Custom Search and – new
addition - Microsoft Bot Framework can be combined with MAM content and OpenMedia
stories from to show at a glance how your content is followed in the social media
marketplace.
NewsBoard potential is limited only by the imagination. Create a NewsBoard for reporting, for
planning, for tracking trends, for statistics. The possibilities are endless.
IBC launch: Messenger Widget
The Messenger Widget, presented to the public for the first time at IBC, opens up a new
dimension of news generation, utilising the Microsoft Bot Framework to create an input
channel from mobile device Messenger Apps.
The Messenger Widget enables a bidirectional communication channel between the
broadcaster and the individual user: Users can contribute content such as images, videoclips and comments to editorial staff with automated responses. Journalists can contact with
users directly to give feedback or request additional information.
All user content can be sent to the OpenMedia planning system and be used as live content.
Available Messenger channels are Facebook Messenger, Telegram and Skype.
IBC2016 is held between September 9-13th 2016 at the RAI Amsterdam and ANNOVA will be
exhibiting on stand 3.B36.
