    Jagran New Media (JNM) collaborates with Google News Initiative, aimed at empowering content creation by developing a Smart Content Management System (CMS). This partnership will unify and enhance JNM’s editorial efficacy in the existing CMS systems, creating a single source of truth and facilitating cross-platform content optimization. The CMS, with its advanced AI/ML and NLP capabilities, significantly improves content creation and summarization, user experience, SEO optimisation, and operational efficiency.

     

    Rajesh Upadhyay, Editor-in-Chief, of Jagran New Media, said: “The CMS’s AI/ML and NLP capabilities have upgraded JNM’s content creation, not just with automated content processes but also in increased content volume, streamlined operations, and the elimination of reliance on external tools for paraphrasing, spell checking, and grammar verification. With time, it will continue to increase the efficiency and productivity of the editorial team as it allows for more focus on strategic and creative aspects of content development.”

     

    Excited about this partnership, Gaurav Arora, COO of Jagran New Media added: “We’re thrilled to build a cutting-edge Smart Content Management System (CMS) and it has already had a transformative impact on JNM’s content creation. We’re confident it will streamline internal processes, foster efficiency and agility, and facilitate cross-platform synergy. In essence, the Smart CMS is not just a technological upgrade but a strategic enabler aligning with JNM’s commitment to delivering impactful content experiences.”

    Jagran New Media’s  fact-checking wing, Vishvasnews.com, has launched “Sach Ke Sathi: Seniors”, a media literacy campaign to help senior citizens learn how to detect online misinformation, protect themselves from deepfakes and access trustworthy news and information.

     

    Commenting on the launch, the CEO of Jagran New Media, Bharat Gupta, said: “The collaboration between Vishvasnews.com, Google News Initiative (GNI), the fact-checking community, and MICA fulfils our objective to address the critical issue of media literacy specifically within the senior demographic, with a focus on digital safety and fact-checking. Built upon shared synergy, the 7th edition of Sach ke Sathi will enable us to collectively prioritize the advancement of media literacy among seniors and create a robust foundation for a digitally literate society. It has been our endeavour at Jagran New Media to follow the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) that underline our dedication to this important cause.”

     

    Added Surabhi Malik, Google News Lab Lead in India: “Sach ke Sathi Seniors is a much-needed collaborative media literacy effort that will empower senior citizens with critical thinking skills, help them detect misinformation and also prepare them to tackle deepfakes.

We have designed a curriculum by adopting an interactive and learner-centric pedagogy that not only imparts knowledge but also fosters critical thinking skills to tackle the challenges of fake news, misinformation, disinformation and malinformatiom which is prevalent like a menace in our society today.”
