MediaPot

MediaPot will develop a modern and dynamic news story creation environment that will exploit innovative solutions in the field of multimedia content analysis and news verification. Through a combination of artificial intelligence and data mining services, the proposed ICT platform will be able to analyse multimedia content (text, image and video) from the social media, verify the trustworthiness of the reporting source and the reliability of the reported information, and produce related news stories in a semi-automated way.

The MediaPot project intends to bridge media and news reporting from media professionals and social networking users to produce useful and reliable information that professionals can then use to trigger their journalistic research and the compilation of new news stories or enrich their existing stories. The project will analyse content in text, image, and video formats, as well as information extracted from social networks, in which this content is produced, in order to retrieve and assess useful information about the most important news.
