A short post on the financial costs of not having a European Public Sphere.

@voxdotcom did a 4-minute summary of Obama's 2016 #sotu (State of the Union):

Here in Brussels, the @EU_Commission did a "Highlights" video of Juncker's #SOTEU which, like all EC videos, cannot be embedded by popular Wordpress-based blogging platforms like this one (I'm sure they've got a good reason for this, right?).

Before you try, don't waste your time comparing the two - you can't. On the one you have something produced by a real media about a political speech on a necessarily low budget, viewed ~100,000 times; on the other you have something considerably more polished and edited, produced by the politician's own team, viewed a little over 31,000 times.

What's instructive is the fact that the Commission's efforts were necessary at all - I've yet to see any 'real media' bothering with a 'best of #soteu', although if someone can point me to one I'd be glad to add it here. If not, this does illustrate the cost of not having a functioning European public sphere - instead of relying on it to support and carry the debate, the Institutions must resort to increasingly expensive measures to get their message out. Quite apart from the cost to democracy, this stuff costs money to make.

The afternoon session at Future Media Lab 2016 showed that while European media are warming to the idea of using advanced language technologies to share content across borders, their audiences are already well ahead of them.

This is a repost from the Future Media Lab blog (and so matches its dryness) and covers a workshop led by a client.

The conference session explored the “Translation Syndication” concept, where media in different countries exchange, translate, localise and republish each other’s content, increasing both volume and depth of coverage cost-effectively. To media outsiders, this sounds like a no-brainer: today’s media is in crisis, and media working in different languages are not competitors, so why on Earth would they not exchange content and mutually boost their revenues?

The reality, of course, is far more complex. The few experiments to date, such as the (website-free) Leading European Newspaper Alliance and the (temporary) Climate Publisher’s Network, have been extremely lo-tech and exploratory.

Media trailing their own audience

But data presented by Christophe Leclercq as he opened the session suggests that European audiences would like more:

64% of the respondents to EurActiv’s recent Readership Survey (1790 responses, December 2015-January 2016) would like to see more translated articles from national media sources.

But what, exactly, do we mean by translated articles? The survey showed that although 60% use Google Translate at work, under 20% are satisfied with machine translation only, even if it does give them an immediate result:

Almost 60% would prefer machine translation improved by a human being within ‘same day’ or ‘half day’ timescales.

Enter Translated Syndication

The basic idea behind Translated Syndication was then set out to the session participants, who then split into tables to workshop answers to three questions: how could it help their competitiveness; what are the obstacles; and what should institutions like the EU and media associations do to help?

The resulting process can be summarised as follows:

1. Media in the Translated Syndication Platform share content to it direct from their CMS
2. Each article is automatically categorised by a ‘Relevance Engine’ …
3.… before being auto-translated and summarised.
4. As journalists in other media in the Platform prepare their articles, their CMS automatically presents a feed of relevant articles from across Europe, auto-translated and ready to use
5. They correct, localise and otherwise incorporate this content into their own publication, deepening their coverage and/or increasing their output.

The resulting discussion was a good example of how a group can refine and develop an idea – the ‘Relevance Engine’ in Step 2, for example, emerged from two workshop tables, as did a wider spectrum of uses for the syndicated content, from simply sharing ‘journalistic research’ through to localising and republishing articles.

Building trust is key

Inevitably, trust emerged as a key issue: participating media will need to be sure that the content they are re-using comes from quality sources, particularly as the Platform may remove the articles’ surrounding context. Apart from applying appropriate Membership requirements, more than one participant suggested building a lightweight social network into the Platform, allowing journalists to message an article’s author to get the necessary background. As an added benefit, such a network would stimulate journalistic and commercial collaboration across Europe.

“such a network would stimulate deeper journalistic collaboration across Europe”

Similarly, trusting that the Platform handles copyright management would be crucial, particularly with so many freelancers working in media. Blockchains were floated as a possible solution here. Despite these reservations, each workshop table was clear that such a Platform would definitely improve their media’s competitiveness, and - unsurprisingly - called upon the EU to boost research funding in the field.
