Editor – The Revolutionary Platform Simplify Journalist Process

In 2015, The New York Times implemented the Editor project – an artificial intelligence solution to optimise the journalistic process. With an Editor, authors can use tags to highlight phrases, titles or critical points in the article. This solution automatically learns to recognise the most prominent parts of an article to filter out relevant tags. By extracting information based on required categories such as events, people, places, and time, Editor helps readers access information more easily and quickly. In addition, the system is used to moderate readers’ comments, to remove harassing and abusive comments.

In the field of press media, AI is gradually becoming a breakthrough solution for high-quality content production, fast speed and efficient distribution. This is an exciting opportunity for startups to harness the potential of AI and bring media organisations into a new world of potential and possibility.
