Access authentic UGC
How SAM has shaped AP's workflow for UGC
“The SAM tool, now in the hands of AP journalists around the globe, has made AP’s UGC search and verification process more efficient by cutting down on duplicative work across the newsroom and greatly reducing the number of UGC tools our journalists need access to. SAM shows AP journalists and customers alike who is working on a piece of UGC and where in the process we are, from verification of content through to rights clearances. SAM also manages our UGC workflow from end to end, allowing our journalists to use just one tool for all parts of the process. SAM, in short, has revolutionized the way that AP works with UGC.”
