WEKA Fachmedien is expanding the specialist media landscape with an innovative solution:
elektroniknet and connect professional will in future provide a weekly news overview in a compact video format. The most important business news from the world of electronics and ICT will be presented by an AI newsreader.
Today’s media landscape is characterized by fast-moving news, short attention spans and information overload. The challenge is to ensure that news is conveyed in a timely manner without reducing the quality and relevance of reporting. One answer to this is the use of AI technology for the presentation of editorially developed specialist content. This is also intended to reach younger target groups who increasingly rely on video content.
With this in mind, WEKA Fachmedien is now focusing on the new video content format “News of the Week”, in which specialist content is presented by an AI-generated newsreader. We are also keen to experiment with the possibilities offered by artificial intelligence today. For users and consumers of elektroniknet and connect professional content, this results in the following benefits:
- Efficiency: No time to read long articles? No problem! The short and concise video provides all the important information of the week in the shortest possible time.
- Up-to-date: Always up to date! The videos are updated every week so that the latest developments can be followed in real time.
- Accessibility: The video format is accessible to everyone. Whether you prefer on-the-go or visual content, we have the right solution for everyone.
Editorial content presented in a contemporary way
The new AI news anchor combines advanced technology with human expertise. While the editors of elektroniknet and connect professional will continue to be responsible for the content, the AI newsreader will take on the task of presenting this content in an appealing and easily accessible video format. Among other things, an AI video generator solution will be used for this.
The “News of the Week” will start on Friday, May 10, 2024 (connect professional) and Friday, May 17, 2024 (elektroniknet). The videos will be played on the LinkedIn and YouTube channels of elektroniknet and connect professional and can be found on the elektroniknet.de and connect-professional.de websites.
