NewsTECHForum Examines News Workflows

Producing for a single screen is a thing of the past as newsrooms must plan for an ever-expanding roster of platforms. A panel of TV station news  executives will present their experience and suggestions in dealing with — and benefitting from — this change on Day 1 of the second annual NewsTECHForum co-presented by TVNewsCheck and the Sports Video Group.

“New Workflows, New Rules, New Tools” will look at how news organizations are adapting their workflows for the multi-screen news environment, and how technology — including the critically important newsroom computer system — is adapting to this changing world.

Addressing these issues in the Monday, Dec. 15, session at 2:15-3 p.m., will be Peter Brickman, WNET New York chief technical officer; Marty Faubell, Hearst Television VP of engineering; Blake Russell, Nexstar Broadcasting SVP of station operations; and Michael Koetter, Turner Broadcasting System SVP of media technology and development.

Phil Kurz, TVNewsCheck technology editor, will moderate.
