WHAT DO AUDIENCES WANT FROM ONLINE NEWS VIDEO, AND CAN AUTOMATION HELP 
DELIVER?

*/3 December 2020/*

*Virtual Conference*

The use of automation in journalism is encroaching more and more on what 
many would consider to be journalists’ core professional roles, such as 
the identification of story leads, verification, and decisions about 
which stories are shown, and with what prominence. Automation has also 
started to play a role in the creation of news texts, initially by 
helping to generate natural language—the written word—but now also in 
the production of news videos.

The proportion of consumers who watch online news videos each week has 
increased substantially—from 24% in 2016 to 67% in 2020 (Reuters 
Institute for the Study of Journalism / Digital News Report 2020). Over 
the same period, there has been an increase in the use of automation in 
news video production.

This online event brings together researchers (including Irene Costera 
Meijer, Nick Diakopoulos, Michael Koliska, Sally Stares, Kim Schrøder, 
and Neil Thurman) technology-providers (Wibbitz), and publishers (PA 
Media, Deutsche Welle, and Conde Nast) to explore what audiences want 
from online news video, and whether automation can help deliver.
