Grass Valley Makes it Easy for News Professionals to Deliver More Compelling, Timely Content with Enhanced Solutions at IBC

Customers can work smarter, faster and better

News professionals today face unprecedented challenges in creating journalistically solid content for distribution methods that didn’t even exist a dozen years ago. An audience now viewing on websites, smartphone apps, and social media portals still demands immediate reporting and expects it from a wider variety of sources than ever before. That puts pressure on journalists to do more, do it faster, and do it without compromising quality. Grass Valley, a Belden Brand, has been working for decades with customers in news production, helping them keep up with the changes and stay ahead of the competition with more engaging, relevant content to keep their viewers tuned in. At IBC, attendees will see the latest news production offerings and innovations from Grass Valley.

“Gone are the days of daily news cycles and spending hours on a story for the six o’clock broadcast. With streaming services, online sources and social media, consumers expect to get the news in real-time, as it happens,” said Neerav Shah, senior vice president of strategic marketing, Grass Valley. “News gathering and production tools must be flexible and open to make it easier for organizations to take in photo, audio and video content from any number of sources at a variety of quality levels and put it together to tell a story. And it has to happen fast.”

The same factors that bring new challenges to news production today also provide more opportunities to integrate media and come at stories from a number of different angles. Bringing all that content together successfully requires a level of efficiency that enables the news teams to work smarter, faster and better. Grass Valley’s latest news solutions provide many customer benefits: operational efficiency, unparalleled integration, enhanced rights protection, updated proxy utilities for content management, collaborative news coverage, process automation and improved editing capabilities.
