Mihály Minkó explores the complex task of editing television news programs.
The daily flow of breaking news is channelled according to television’s editorial principles. These principles determine the order and the duration of the news; however, these are rarely accessible. Hence, investigating a technique for identifying simple patterns in news articles could bring important value. Public television in Hungary is an important information source as it reaches large numbers of the wider public.
Through this work, Mihály aims to unpack the local news editing strategy found in Hungary to raise awareness over the channel’s editorial strategies.
Mihály Minkó is a researcher and teacher at the Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design (Hungary), and he also works together with companies to help soften up hard data skills through creative visualization journeys. Besides visual representation of data, he also creates physical installations on different topics, mostly focusing on social issues. He is also a regular speaker at national business intelligence conferences and facilitates collaborations between industry and academia.
