How AOL Hopes to Make Its New Content Push Work
Wilson said AOL is also consolidating more than a dozen content management and production systems into one so reporters and editors can assign and choose stories, file and edit them, grab photos, link information, promote headlines and handle other editorial duties much more seamlessly than today. AOL's staff of some 500 reporters and editors will also have reams more data at their fingertips -- from search queries and site link click-through information to consumer databases that show users' preferences -- to help come up with stories that might be of interest. They'll be aided by what they're calling a "demand algorithm" that will help predict what content has a good chance of being popular. Wilson and advertising sales counterpart Jeff Levick insist, though, that decisions of what content to produce will be determined by humans, not machines. | source : www.poynter.org

Poynter Online - Students Offer Five New Ideas for Marrying Journalism and Technology
To start the class, the students were presented with a set of problems. Based on interest, teams formed and began analyzing and interpreting the issues. Each week the teams must present their progress and get feedback from the faculty and other students. Using an agile design framework the teams set small, weekly goals to conceive and build specific features -- for example scraping data from baseball box scores or designing the experience of selecting news by the time available. | source : www.poynter.org
