VIDE is a news explorer app that aims to respect the user's mood by filtering content. It allows users to select their mood as happy or sad and will cut off bad news if the user is feeling sad. The app also uses hashtags to allow users to choose news by topic tags like #world or #local. Images are prominently displayed to give users a visual overview of stories. Users can enlarge images to read headlines or access full articles and share positive stories on social media. The goal is to provide an image-centric interface that filters content by the user's selected mood and hashtags.
Media Innovation in China: The Latest TrendsGENinnovate
With a staggering 1.3 billion mobile registrations - the equivalent of one for nearly every person in the country - and 640 million internet users, China is a powerful force in today’s media. Giant Internet leaders Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent/WeChat (together called BAT) are China’s answer to Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. Together with state and some independent media, they are driving a “mobile first” revolution and adding to the technological clout of the world’s biggest Internet market.

An augmented news watching system adds a layer to popular video platforms. It allows viewers and editors to enhance the news watching experience by tagging info cards within videos. These cards provide explanations, highlights, and help identify manipulation around points of discussion in order to have a more informed understanding of issues in times of conflict and biased media cycles.
In the newsroom, social media can be your best friend or your worst enemy. One thing is for certain, you cannot ignore it. Taking advantage of shifting mobile consumption habits can turn social media into your ally. How can you redesign your newsroom's structure to turn valuable traffic into meaningful conversations?
Keynote Dialogue: Samantha Barry, Head of Social Media and Senior Director of Strategy, CNN, with Anne-Marie Tomchak, Reporter and Presenter on BBC Trending

This document outlines a new solution called Stacks that allows users to easily create and share personalized summaries of news articles and online content in a visually engaging format. Stacks uses a simple drag-and-drop interface to let users customize article summaries by selecting key points and images in order to make the content more visually appealing and shareable on social media.

The document discusses an app called Eagle-i that aims to increase transparency in elections by allowing citizens to upload eyewitness reports, videos, and images of electoral activities and malpractices directly from polling centers. The app will stream this user-generated content and allow other users to engage through features like comments, likes, and hashtags. The objectives are to give election monitors more credible information, expose any improper conduct, and help ensure that every vote is properly counted.

Live Mosayc is a platform that aggregates news from multiple sources around a given event into a single stream. It uses algorithms to detect trends, filters the information, and ranks it. Editors then further curate the content. Users can provide feedback to influence the stream. The benefits for users are a centralized location for trusted curated content on events from any mobile device. Editors benefit from algorithms doing initial curation so they can focus on the final product using a single interface. Media companies benefit from lower costs, increased reach and engagement on mobile leading to higher revenue.

A new type of interactive poll called Ticker Take lets readers create and share animated stock charts predicting outcomes and comparing views with others, making polls more engaging, social, and visual than typical ones. This format can be used for various prediction polls beyond just stocks.

It will provide news, live results, candidate profiles and statistics. The goal is to gather prompt information, display complicated data simply, engage citizens and key players, and help ensure free and fair elections in Nigeria.

What Cross-Border Collaboration Can Bring to Investigative JournalismGENinnovate
After WikiLeaks, Luxleaks, WildLeaks and Swissleaks, it appears there is an unmistakable, mutual value in the collaboration between journalists, media organisations and non-profits around the world. How can editors produce and sustain original investigative journalism by tapping into international networks of knowledge and expertise?

VideoData is a project that focuses on solving three newsroom problems: 1) archiving videos for later reuse, 2) finding specific moments within videos, and 3) text mining video. The project allows users to collaboratively tag moments in videos, retrieve transcripts from YouTube captions, edit transcripts via Amara, search videos by tags or content, and download data in various formats to enable analysis. The site works with online videos from YouTube and other sources, with an emphasis on collaborative and automated tagging of moments within individual videos.
This document describes an app that allows citizens to report issues like street vendors occupying streets, damaged roads, water problems, and construction waste using images, text, or videos. These reports are automatically shared on social media and a map displays the data by category. Users can see contact information for local officials and NGOs, and rate officials' responses. Statistics track solved and unsolved issues. The app aims to gather data, engage stakeholders, and apply social pressure to address problems through recognition of best and worst local authorities.
This document discusses plans for a new online tool called "Electoral Trending" to analyze public sentiment about politics and current events in real-time. It would capture conversations on social media, classify sentiments as positive, negative or neutral, and display the results in interactive charts. Journalists would provide context and analysis. The tool would also survey users' sentiments on topics like unemployment and the economy. It is currently in beta testing and aims to better understand shifting public opinions around elections and other hot topics through social media analytics.
