CITIZEN CHARLIE
Features Built for Newsroom Workflow
At its core, Citizen Charlie is a Story Assignment and Story Dispatch software. We connect an iOS and Android mobile phone application to that software so each newsroom can source HD digital video at the time they need it, via local citizens.
A few features include:
- News gathering guidance for newsroom voice guide app users.
- Interview guidance for story packages built-in.
- Software sets phone camera into 4K mode and only records in 16:9 format.
- On-screen progress guidance helps users prep their story for submission.
- Chat with Citizens on-scene to guide story angles, shots and questions.
- Video is removed from phone on submission to newsroom for option or release.
- Built for scale, our software is built around AWS architecture
- Integration available for direct feeds to company Media Asset Management devices or cloud based Content Management Solutions.
Manage Costs by The Story
We provide access to all software features - including access to every user - under the annual license fee. Each newsroom pays $75 per piece to local citizens to option the video(s) they want.
