Looking at changes to journalism in the digital era. New tools, new methods, new thought-leadership. The intersection of storytelling, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Ever since John King from CNN spent election night in front of his "magic wall," local broadcasters have been jealous. AccuWeather has a new product that promises to bring the "magic wall" to local broadcasters called "Storyteller." According to the promotional materials, it will let you incorporate live HD video into presentations, which can include user-created maps (presumably from data and templates supplied by AccuWeather). The demos also show how you can put social media on the air (wonder if there is a system to filter out profanity?), and shows how easy it is to put a Google map on the air (with no mention of the fact that Google requires a licensing fee from broadcasters to put maps over-the-air.)
