Google he said today a new set of tools - the Journalist Studio - to help journalists work more efficiently using technology aids.
Journalist Studio is part of the company's Google News Initiative for a better cooperation with the news industry in the evolution of journalism in the digital age.
The company presented two new ones today tools.
The Pinpoint helps journalists quickly read hundreds of thousands of documents, automatically identifying and organizing the most frequently cited terms (people, organizations, and locations).
The tool helps journalists use the Google Search και το Knowledge Graph, την οπτική αναγνώριση χαρακτήρων (OCR) και τις τεχνολογίες ομιλίας σε κείμενο για αναζήτηση σε PDF, εικόνες, χειρόγραφες σημειώσεις, e-mail και αρχεία ήχου. Επιτρέπει στους δημοσιογράφους να ανεβάζουν και να αναλύουν έγγραφα σε επτά γλώσσες: Αγγλικά, Γαλλικά, Γερμανικά, Ιταλικά, Πολωνικά, Πορτογαλικά και Ισπανικά.
Pinpoint was used by USA Today in a survey on 40.600 COVID-19 deaths in nursing homes, as well as by the Washington Post for an article on the opioid crisis in the US. Pinpoint is available and reporters can sign up to request access (Gmail address required).
The next application The Common Knowledge Project is released as a beta and allows journalists to explore, visualize and share data on a variety of topics. Created by Polygraph, an award-winning visual journalism team supported by the Google News Initiative.
It helps journalists create interactive graphs from thousands of data points in minutes, as well as embed them into stories or share them on social media. The data comes from Data Commons which currently includes US demographics, economy, housing, education and crime data.
