CNN Has Acquired Canopy, a Privacy-Focused Content Personalization Engine (TechCrunch)

TechCrunch on CNN buying Canopy for its upcoming news platform.

Why it was kept

Two passages Kyle kept, tagged Journalism and Privacy: CNN saying little about its new ‘NewsCo’ platform beyond connecting users to trusted sources, and Canopy’s Whitman on helping people discover trusted sources.

As Kyle captured it

• Read CNN has acquired Canopy, a privacy-focused content personalization engine, for its upcoming news platform Journalism #Privacy
  • Nor is CNN talking much yet about its new project, currently codenamed “NewsCo”, except to say that it is a “news and information platform connecting users to trusted sources, storytellers and creators across a wide range of topics.”
  • “There has never been a more crucial time to help people discover trusted sources around topics and issues that matter most to them,” said Whitman in a statement. “We’re incredibly excited to join the team at CNN to build some amazing products for their millions of global users.”
