Tronc, Gannett Turn to Automation as Web Video Surges

New York Times: Tronc, the rebranded Tribune Publishing, wants to offer 2,000 videos a day, up from about 200 now, and hands-off video production is central to that aim. The market for this service is largely split between two companies, Wochit and Wibbitz. Customers of Wochit have included Time Inc., CBS Interactive, Huffington Post, Rotten Tomatoes and NowThis News. Wibbitz’s customers include Bonnier magazines, Hearst, Gannett and the Weather Channel.
