The Wall of News
What it Does:
There is a team consisting of researchers who are tasked with coming up with ideas from the current news, and script writers who put that news into a autocue form for the presenters. The researcher can cross reference at a glance what is making headlines, and if they consider it has potential they will create a line in the proposed item column and alongside will copy and paste text from the source site (citing the source).
The producers will look at the items and decide which ones will be included in the show on that particular date.
How it works:
Simply add multiple Web Viewers to your Layout for as many sources as you would like to track. In this example, we’ve added the home page of TV news channels, serious newspapers, tabloid newspapers and other sources to get a complete view on the day’s news along with field where the researcher can copy and paste text for stories.
