Burli expands Newsroom Software offering first developed for CBAA #IBC24
Summary
Steve Ahern spoke to Burli’s Ian Gunn who explained the new background noise AI tools which are now built into the software and talked about how a product for sharing news content, developed for Australia’s Community Broadcasting sector, is now available to all newsrooms in the latest version of Buril Newsroom. “The system will send it off to our artificial intelligence, which will clean up the audio and video quality so that it sounds very nearly like something you might produce in a studio. Burli solved this problem by modifying its software to deliver content and upload via a password accessed browser interface. We also, separately from that, have a web-based platform which is designed for sharing news… “Whether it’s a big group or it’s a group of independent stations, whether they are all under one umbrella or just completely independent stations who wish to share news resources, we’ve built this online-based platform that really is just a big pool of journalism resources from professional journalists. It’s early days but we’re excited about the possibilities.” Disclosure: Steve Ahern worked with Burli and the CBAA to develop the community sector’s news sharing platform and wrote the grant funding proposal for it.
