ví dụ vụ ám sát kim jong-nam, anh trai chú Ủn, đưa tin trước các báo chí lớn khác tới 32 phút...

On Feb. 13 last year, the half-brother of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un was killed in an airport in Malaysia, in what the U.S. Department of State concluded was an assassination (ám sát) using a nerve agent (chất độc thần kinh). As North Korea and Malaysia were roiled (khuấy đục, chọc tức, làm phát cáu) in a diplomatic dispute (tranh cãi ngoại giao), one entrepreneur in Japan and his budding news service were about to reap (gặt hái, thu về) some attention (sự chú ý).

News of Kim Jong-Nam’s death was quickly picked up in Japan not by one of the country’s giant media conglomerates, but by a small startup (công ty khởi nghiệp nhỏ). JX Press Corp., a news technology venture (mạo hiểm) founded (được thành lập) in 2008 by Katsuhiro Yoneshige while he was still a freshman (sinh viên năm nhất) in college, reported the incident more than half an hour faster than the big names, according to one observer. It did so even though it has no journalists, let alone any international bureaus.

"NewsDigest got the scoop at 19:52, and TV stations had it about 20:30," sociologist  (nhà xã hội học) Noritoshi Furuichi wrote on Twitter after reports of Kim’s death. "Television has succumbed (thua, không chống nổi) to being a slow media."

JX Press’s secret, it turns out, is a combination of social media (mạng xã hội) and artificial intelligence (trí thông minh nhân tạo). Yoneshige and his team have developed a tool, using machine learning (học máy), for finding breaking news in social media posts and writing it up as news reports. Essentially, it’s a newsroom staffed by engineers.

...JX Press has some high-profile financial backers, including Japanese media giant Nikkei Inc. and venture capital companies Mitsubishi UFJ Capital Co. and CyberAgent Ventures Inc. Its clients include many of Japan’s biggest broadcasters, such as NHK, TV Asahi and Fuji Television, all of which pay a monthly subscription -- which Yoneshige declines to disclose -- to use Fast Alert.
