The New Newsroom: News in Real Time News events have always unfolded in real-time. But until recently, the cycle for delivering the news has been limited by the medium. A newspaper was printed once a day, maybe twice if you had an afternoon edition. With the advent of the web, multiple updates a day were suddenly possible. And now, with up-to-the-second information available about what’s happening in the world (Twitter) and what’s happening on your site (Chartbeat), the news cycle has become as real-time as the events being covered.  Let’s get together and discuss how the nature of real-time information has changed the way you gather news, present it, and adapt it for your audience. How are you keeping up with the flow of information? What data about your site are worth paying attention to? How is your newsroom adapting to the real-time news environment? Tony Haile and Dawn Williamson spent a combined 10 years in newsrooms and are now working at Chartbeat, where they’re dedicated to building real-time tools (like Newsbeat). They’re excited to share how the newsrooms they’ve encountered deal with real-time data.
