Look at the “Resource Locator” at the Newsroom Summit in London
Jun 26th, 2010 | By Vidar Meisingseth | Category: NewsAt the “9th International Newsroom Summit” in London in September 8-9th, VG News Portal will have a special demonstration of the portal at the Solution Park on Thursday 9th.
Among the features is the “Resource Locater”. This module allows you to put people, organizations or other assets with addresses into a database, which can be displayed
on a map.
This can be used for easily looking up available resources in a specific area.
Imagine that there is a ship sinking on the coast somewhere, and you can find contacts and freelancers in the same area, and have them go out and take pictures for you – long before your own reporters can be on site!
