I am a developer at The Washington Post and I help build newsroom facing tools. I also am the Chair of the DC chapter of ACM and produce a podcast called DC Tech Stories.
next big innovation hmm... since I am focused on newsroom tools I actually thing there are a lot of opportunities there to use tech to help journalists create SUPER engaging pieces - things like our context project(washingtonpost.com/pr/wp/2017/09/1...) allow journalists to provide context to people who are new to a particular topic to understand more fully the news and those who already know this topic to ignore it - that can help a lot with big complex issues with LOTS of players and inputs.
I like the fact that news is crowdsourced in that it gives journalists access to MANY more sources and inputs but I worry about people forgetting the importance of WELL RESEARCHED articles by journalists who take bias, and ethics very seriously. Its a good input but not a replacement by ANY means for well done jouranlism
