Lewis Dvorkin, the chief product officer at Forbes, writes Tuesday about how its newsroom operates much differently than newsrooms of the past by using data and software to influence its coverage decisions.
“Here are the five real-time newsroom screens that have become critical to The New Real-Time Newsroom.
