The future of news gathering will not be reporting on what happens in realtime. You can already see how the news cycle gets extended while live, just to keep eyeballs.
Recorded Future is a business built on the supposition that predicting the future will be most valuable ability for news gatherers.
Here’s what the executives at Recorded Future say about their own technologies and the future of news:
As the world has moved into an always-on, real-time mode, traditional methods of “news”, i.e. the morning delivered printed newspaper or even the hourly newscast, have been overtaken in their ability to provide early indications of what is happening by information traveling rapidly through media such as Email, SMS, Twitter, Facebook updates, etc.
The increased speed of delivery and accessibility to news creates opportunities to better understand developing scenarios even as the growing volume of content creates challenges in sifting, filtering and identifying actionable information about the future.
