The Associated Press has partnered with crowd-sourcing app Scorestream to report high school sports scores on its media wire.
The news wire of record in the U.S. made a splash last year after announcing a collaboration with Automated Insights, which the AP uses to generate short computer-written recaps of minor league baseball games. That deal was struck to broaden the AP’s coverage of teams that otherwise would go unreported on and did not replace any current journalist.
This new effort with Scoresteam follows in the same spirit of expanding coverage of events that have reader interest via increased use of technology.
