MBN utilizes AI technology through Deep Brain's solution to report breaking news and special videos quickly and vividly with AI announcers. Additionally, by incorporating AI models into various MBN programs, it enables simultaneous broadcasting production in the same time zone.

The challenge

To be ready for a news report at a press office, considerations must be made. Gather info and materials like press releases, statements, and visuals to make the report precise and full.

Organize with press and related individuals a time and place for the report. This includes getting a space, such as a conference room or outside, and organizing any needed gear or technical help.

Gathering the right data and materials, organizing a date and place with relevant people, and having an agenda for disseminating the report can greatly reduce time, labor, and expenses for filming.

The solution

In order to prepare for a news report at a press office, several things must be taken into consideration. First, it is important to gather all of the necessary information and materials for the report, such as press releases, statements, and any supporting visual elements. This will ensure that the report is accurate and complete.

Next, it is important to coordinate with the press office and other relevant parties to schedule a time and location for the report. This may include securing a location for the report, such as a conference room or outdoor area, as well as arranging for any necessary equipment or technical support.

"By effectively gathering necessary information and materials, coordinating with relevant parties to schedule a time and location, and having a plan for distributing the report, it is possible to significantly save resources such as time, personnel, and cost for filming. "  - MBN
