Newsroom Systems

Modern newsrooms are a complex and fast moving environment. In the past, some broadcasters would have a dedicated news subtitling team working along side the journalists. The subtitlers would prepare short subtitle files to match the news stories if there was time or use one of the live techniques listed above.

However there is an increasing move to have the journalists produce the subtitles at the same time as they edit the news story. This requires a simple, flexible tool that will work alongside the newsroom editing system. Video clips need to be opened automatically and file names created to match story IDs. All of this needs to be part of the journalist's news desk system.

Used in conjunction with some of the other techniques listed above it is possible to reduce the cost of news subtitling and the time to air while still meeting the subtitling requirements.

Equipment required:

· Newsroom enabled subtitle preparation software and integration with newsroom software.

Staffing required:

· Subtitle training for journalists.
