Let’s stay in touch! DW Innovation moves on LinkedIn
Dear all,
we’re moving house on LinkedIn. From our old ‘persona’ profile called DW (first name) Innovation (last name) to a proper showcase page directly connected to Deutsche Welle.
We’ve announced this before and thus thought we could delete the old profile worry-free, but it turns out our message didn’t come through to many of you.
That’s a pity, because we’d really love to stay connected with you all! To exchange thoughts, findings and knowledge, share concepts on innovation in media – and maybe to help each other find that perfect new team member.
Our old profile will be deleted on March 25th. Therefore we want to make a last shout out in order to turn our ‘old connections’ into new followers:
- Please go to linkedin.com/showcase/dw-innovation…
- hit that follow button…
- and stay in touch with us!
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!
All the best,
DW Innovation

Project LIMES: The Future of Augmented, Interactive Live Streaming
With the arrival of high-end smart device cameras, sophisticated gimbals, 4G, and platforms like Twitch or Facebook Live, video live streaming has become immensely popular. Journalists have used the technology to cover breaking news right when and where they are breaking, do spontaneous interviews on a popular social media platform, or cover that really long, yet potentially important press conference both in full and on a budget. Unfortunately, journalistic live streams run the risk of becoming rather boring after a while. They might be exclusive, but they also lack dramaturgy, editing, extra features – which is why viewers tend to tune out. But it doesn’t have to be like that. Journalistic livestreams could be more compelling, and we’ve just started a new DNI project that is ready to tackle the challenge: LIMES, short for Livestreaming & Mixed Reality Management System.
