- Deeper intelligence, faster
discovery, curated content collections are now available to
newsrooms
- New functionality helps media
partners combat disinformation and the manipulation of public
opinion by special interest groups
Storyful, the leading provider of validated social media
intelligence, announced today the relaunch of its Newswire flagship
product. The Storyful Newswire now provides newsroom customers with
faster discovery of content and deeper intelligence on news and
digital trends around the globe.
“Over the last eight years, social media evolved into a complex
and vital source of video and news,” said Sharb Farjami, CEO of
Storyful. “Eyewitness social video footage is now standard for
reporting on breaking news, political disruption, dramatic weather
events and emerging cultural trends. The rise of disinformation and
new technologies make it difficult for publishers to authenticate
video or separate fact from fiction. Our unique combination of
trained journalists and adaptable technology power the Newswire to
make sense of social media for partners.”
First built to help editorial teams utilize verified social
content in broadcast and digital publishing, the Storyful Newswire
is the first social media newswire. The platform provides users
deeper intelligence about breaking news events and trends, more
content and video around emerging stories, and better search
functionality to improve the speed of discovery. The goal is to
help partners reduce the time and resources necessary to gather
content and news from social media for use in publishing.
The new Storyful Newswire enhances the ability to discover
relevant content with accurate keyword match results,
location-tagged content and suggested stories to surface related
content and video. In addition, new filters allow users to tailor
their experience to fit their editorial agenda. Content can be
clustered by region or area of interest, clearance (licensed,
cleared, public), date, category and keyword.
Content options are also expanding. Storyful’s newsroom will
guide partners to top content and developing stories through
Collections, which offer greater depth of insight and range of
video options to inform coverage. A new story type called “FYIs”
provides investigative background around complex news events such
as the Syrian civil war, election disinformation campaigns and
weather events.
The updated Newswire will be available to all news customers by
September 12.
