Abstract

Journalists are key information workers who have specific requirements from information systems to support the verification and exploration of information. We overview the DMINR tool that has been designed and developed to meet the needs of journalists through the examination of journalists information behaviour in a newsroom. We outline our co-design process as well as the design, implementation and deployment of the tool. We report a usability test on the tool and conclude with details of how to develop the tool further
