AI and automation in content creation
Free to create value
In the drive to maintain the sustainability and profitability of news-media operations, automation plays a fundamental role.
Freed from the routine tasks involved in delivering a multiple-format news portfolio, journalists and editors can concentrate on producing the timely, engaging content that adds real value to the news operation.
“At every stage of the content life cycle … these mechanisms are accelerating and simplifying news creation and delivery.”
From ‘traditional’ automation to AI
For over two decades, Eidosmedia platforms have been applying ‘traditional’ automated processes to achieve high levels of productivity in its users’ workflows.
These have now been supplemented with ML and AI-driven processes to streamline news production and delivery while maintaining the highest standards of quality and precision.
At every stage of the content life cycle from AI-asssisted research to automated scheduling and AI-driven print page design, these mechanisms are accelerating and simplifying news creation and delivery.
