This job requires someone to extract and categorize information about the different news sections* on various news websites (see example site here: [login to view URL]). A list of 100 news sections has been compiled that includes Titles and URLs. Each news section is being converted into a news feed so we need to create additional descriptive information for each of the feeds.
For each of the different news sections we need to add a Subtitle, Keywords and Categories.
• Subtitle - Create a subtitle to describe the news section in more detail.
• Keyword - Create keywords that describe or are related to the news section content.
• Categories - Select the relevant categories that are associated with the news section to help organize the content in a directory.
* The phrase "News Section" is used to mean a news topic like sports, opinion, or business news and, sometimes the word is also used to mean an individual URL ([login to view URL]). Keep in mind that each section has its own URL.
A web application will be used (see attached screenshot) to input the additional information. Various utilities have been created to make developing and entering this information easier. For instance, you can review similar news sections from other news websites that were previously entered into the application. This allows you to repeat the same entries for the different fields with only minor changes. The application also provides a Keyword Search tool to make it easier to think of new keywords. Entering category data is also simplified with a Category Selector tool. Detailed directions are also provided for each data field in an online manual.
