What it is

The S³ framework — Segment, Story, Sentiment.

NewsStrategy monitors competitive broadcast news sources and generates structured, accurate summaries of every story on every station, every cycle. Continuous transcription with speaker identification feeds NLP story-boundary segmentation; each story becomes a structured summary — headline, topic, entities, timing and prominence — with sentiment and editorial framing, and on-screen text captured by OCR.

LeadStories delivers a fixed snapshot ten minutes into each competitive program — what every competitor led with, by prominence — and breaking-news alerts fire the moment any channel breaks a story, with per-station response timestamps. NewsStrategy Local (NSL) brings the same to a defined regional market at the station edge, fully on-prem with zero cloud dependency.
