News managers—producers, news directors, and assignment editors—have to manage the on-air content and the personnel in the newsroom. They assign stories to staff, devise and manage the newscast’s rundown, segments and order of the show, right down to last-minute float or drop decisions. They need a solution that puts every aspect of the newsroom at their fingertips .

Journalists are working harder than ever. They write breaking news stories without video then re-write them when the feed comes in. They arrange clips from the feed to fit the script they wrote, before they have accurate timing. Or they hand the whole thing off to an editor with a list of instructions and time codes – all while working on the next story.

Television reporters have to follow the stories– wherever they are. And often, instead of coming back to the station and plugging into the network, they need to prepare stories in the field. And their toolset must enable them to act as videographer and editor when necessary, often in the harshest circumstances.

The station’s “look and feel” is created by the graphic designers, but it’s the journalists who have to use it for lower-thirds, graphics, and other story-telling tools. And once it’s all created, how does everything get on air at the right time—and with the right look?

Satellite downlinks. Microwave relays. Tape feeds. Video is the source of life in a television newsroom. Feed operators have to manage all the channels, routers, and crosspoints to ensure that video comes in when and where it’s supposed to. And why use valuable editing suite time for logging incoming video?

All the work that goes into creating the news is pulled together in the control room. It’s where the technical director switches the newscast and calls the camera shots, tape rolls, and on-air graphics. The operators of all the devices have to stay on top of last-minute changes to individual stories or to the entire rundown.

A whole team of people puts the news on the air. But when news breaks before the show, the audience wants to know what’s going on, right away. If the station can get content to its audiences in whatever ways they want it—the Web, their PDA, a cell phone feed—without getting in the way of producing their newscast, and without hiring an entirely new editorial staff, everyone will win.

Election Day programming is just like every other news day in the year— all rolled into one long, high-visibility newscast.
