CNN, Twitter release tool to help journalists find news faster

Twitter and CNN have unveiled a new tool that will help journalists identify breaking news soon after it happens. The new tool, developed in partnership among CNN, Twitter, and the social analytics company Dataminr, is designed to identify potentially breaking news as it's "emerging on Twitter in real time." While any journalist can see news bubbling up on Twitter through their feeds, the new tool, called Dataminr for News, will analyze tweets in real time and identify potential breaking news while it's still in its early stages.
