Nine’s Newsroom reorganisation is based on two new bits of cloud software:

These cloud applications can integrate with Adobe Premier cloud as an editor as well has having internal editing tools. Nine sound like they are going to move away from in-house servers and go fully cloud. Stan is in AWS so you would imagine there will be cloud expertise at Nine already

I just hope they can keep Ivan and Chang out of their cloud environment unlike their last visit from them.

Not completely related but i believe this is what TVNZ News recently switched to. Also from ENPS.

Sounds like the economics of Cloud servers are too good now to justify keeping in-house IT infrastructure running. There is a bit more risk like connectivity to the Cloud going down or datacenter issues where the Cloud is housed but the days of TV stations having $$$ to engineer around those risks are long gone. ENPS and iNews are probably end of life products now anyway.

All they would need to do was drop 1 or 2 reports to finish by 7pm

Media Watch tonight had a segment on 9News Perth reporter Sarah Smith interviewing Randall Smith, the owner of Shed Homes WA. Turns out Randall is Sarah’s uncle but the personal relationship was not disclosed.

Diary hears there is brewing resentment at Nine after staff were informed a whole host of traditional staff titles would be axed – along with more than 20 jobs – as part of the network’s ­“Future News” overhaul.

Among those destined for the scrap heap are the “executive producer” titles held by Today boss Matt Russell, Weekend Today chief Michael Kersnovske and Today Extra’s Ashleigh Sculley, who will all undergo professional rebrands under the far-less-­impressive title of “story editor” (though no one seems to have broken the news to their LinkedIn profiles as yet).

One network insider told Diary that staff were “furious” about the unnecessary change and thought it was “utterly dis­respectful” to strip their hardworking newsroom leaders of their hard-earned monikers. Yes, seriously.

Changing to weird UK titles like programme editor

At least program editor makes sense. How is an EP a story editor- especially on 4hrs of breakfast TV? It doesn’t do these employees any favours on their CV.

Also just doesn’t make sense compared to their role.
