Modern Journalists Need a Copilot

Social media has transformed the reach of modern journalism. With the click of a button, journalists can connect with readers across the globe, bringing audiences comprehensive news coverage on issues that impact their lives. But it’s not just journalists who benefit from social media’s rapid connectivity and reach – audiences appreciate the ability to conveniently access the news via their preferred social channels. In fact, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey, nearly half of U.S. adults report “often” or “sometimes” getting news from social media.

Yet, when the 24/7 news cycle meets the 24/7 newsfeed, journalists can find themselves facing mounting pressure to keep up with content demands. Turning out a timely and comprehensive news story on-the-fly is no easy feat on its own, but when you add on the task of reworking news stories into posts for multiple social media platforms–with varying audiences and word count limits–hours spent creating content can quickly add up.
