Innovative newsrooms around the globe are incorporating social
media into the daily newsroom workflow. Facebook, Twitter and
Instagram have become regular sources for breaking news and
community-generated content. And now, ChyronHego’s social media
editor, SHOUT™, is making it easier to bring social content into
news stories thanks to a newly launched integration with Social
News Desk.
The two companies are well suited to disrupt the current
landscape of social media display tools. ChyronHego has a long
history of providing innovative graphics solutions to the broadcast
market, and Social News Desk, a subsidiary of Graham Holdings
Company (NYSE:GHC), is the world leader in social media management
solutions for local news organizations.
“We're excited about the enhanced user experience we're able to
offer with the integration of Social News Desk's technology into
SHOUT,” said Marco Lopez, CEO, ChyronHego. “We were able to
strengthen SHOUT’s existing feature-set enabling staff to monitor,
select, and route social media content to our LyricX or PRIME
graphics systems for on-air playback – accurately, quicker and
easier than before.”
Kim Wilson, SND Founder and President said, “We are laser
focused on what newsrooms need to succeed on social media today.
And some of our best features spring from the daily conversations
we’re having with thousands of newsrooms, journalists, and
well-established vendors, worldwide.”
Both companies place a high priority on providing customers with
cutting edge solutions and their needs were a key driver of this
partnership. With the integration, they sought to create a
next-generation solution that is scalable and flexible. The
integrated solution meets the needs of a modern newsroom with a
focus on giving journalists a simple-to-use method of finding
relevant social media content to get on air fast – ultimately
providing viewers with more engaging, and entertaining
broadcasts.
