main driver of these changes. We present a future study where we aim to get an understanding of what technologies
will become important for the journalist and further change the journalist’s workplace. The new technological
solutions will have to be implemented in the media houses’ information systems, and knowledge about what
technologies will have the greatest impact will influence IS strategies in the media house. In the study we
interviewed 16 experts on how they envision the future technologies of the journalist. We analyzed the interviews
with a qualitative research approach. Our analysis shows that technologies for multi-platform news production,
automated news content generation, cloud services for flexible production, content search, and content verification
are the most important in terms of needs and competitiveness.},

abstract = {News angles are approaches to journalism content often used to provide a way to present a new report

focuses on an event by emphasising a local connection. Knowledge graphs are most often used to
represent knowledge about a particular entity in the form of relationships to other entities. In this paper
we see how we can extract a knowledge sub graph containing entities and relevant relationships that are
connected to the locality of a news outlet. The purpose of this graph is to use it for automated journalism
or as an aid for the journalist to find local connections to an event, as well as how the local connection
relate to the event. We call such a graph a relevance knowledge graph. An algorithm for extracting such
a graph from a linked data source like DBpedia is presented and examples of the use of a relevance graph

The scenarios address three interrelated challenges for local journalism. First, text and photos in tips are often of low quality for journalism purposes.

abstract = {Finding good angles on news events is a central journalistic and editorial skill. As news work becomes increasingly computer-assisted and big-data based, journalistic tools therefore need to become better able to support news angles too. This paper outlines a big-data platform that is able to suggest appropriate angles on news events to journalists. We first clarify and discuss the central characteristics of news angles. We then proceed to outline a big-data architecture that can propose news angles. Important areas for further work include: representing news angles formally; identifying interesting and unexpected angles on unfolding events; and designing a big-data architecture that works on a global scale.

abstract = {This article introduces the concept of academic prototypes, and shows how they can lead to technological innovation in journalism. We propose an innovation method that transforms a value-oriented academic prototype into a market-oriented journalistic service. The principles for product development presented here are based on the lean startup method as well as business model canvassing. A prototype scenario shows how the locative information app PediaCloud could be transformed into a locative news service for a regional newspaper in Western Norway. Ideally, the academic prototype will be transformed into a novel and engaging way of reading news stories, and a profitable solution for the newspaper. Realistically, the team will have acquired empirical validation of the business model's strong and weak points. In the conclusion, we summarize the utility of the approach for validated learning, and make recommendations for further research on innovation with academic prototypes.},
