U.S. News and LOUD3R Join to Add Real-Time Content to Congress Tracker
Offers readers access to additional information on members of Congress and key midterm election issues
WASHINGTON and PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 10 -- U.S. News Media Group and LOUD3R today announced that LOUD3R will power U.S. News's Congress Tracker (http://politics.usnews.com/congress) with LOUD3R's real-time content discovery platform. LOUD3R enables U.S. News to complement its award-winning political news, data, and opinion coverage by identifying relevant content from around the web for usnews.com readers. Congress Tracker pages profiling scores of members of Congress and several key political issues are already using LOUD3R technology, with more to come as Election Day nears.
U.S. News publishes in-depth news, analysis, and information on topics that matter most to Americans. LOUD3R's technology searches the Web in real time for content on focused topics ranging from specific Senators and House members to key issues like the economy and the environment. It provides editors with a powerful tool to discover and curate fresh, relevant content. Readers get an exhaustive, up-to-the minute view of the day's most important political news.
"U.S. News is committed to bringing our readers comprehensive political coverage so they can be better informed citizens," said Bill Holiber, president and CEO, U.S. News Media Group. "LOUD3R is helping Congress Tracker make sense out of the noise in politics online, and empowers our editors to identify the latest and best content for our readers."
"It seems that with every election season more and more public discourse moves online," said Lowell Goss, CEO of LOUD3R. "Our work together combines U.S. News's reporting and editorial strength with the speed and efficiency of LOUD3R's content discovery platform, harnessing the most important voices in the discussion."
LOUD3R combines semantic technology with human knowledge to discover comprehensive, contextual content on any topic. Its powerful Curation Platform software lets editors dynamically curate topics and manage the publication of streams of both original and web content, and social media.
