ABSTRACT
This position paper explores how journalists can embrace new ways of content provision and authoring, by aggregating and analyzing content gathered from Social Media. Current challenges in the news media industry are reviewed and a new system for capturing emerging knowledge from Social Media is described. Novel features that assist professional journalists in processing sheer amounts of Social Media information are presented with a reference to the technical requirements of the system. First implementation steps are also discussed, particularly focusing in event detection and user influence identification.
