DTP Newsroom Design
DTP Newsroom is a purely virtual news broadcasting channel powered by RSS and Artificial Intelligence. AI is used to summarize the news into besdpoke scripts, read those scripts out loud, generate images to visually tell the story, and (eventually) interact with people in a live chat.
TV-Style Broadcasts
The system will be configured to produce five total broadcasts per day:
- Sunrise Show
- Noon News
- Grounded News: Today's Important Topics
- News Nightcap
- The "Today Probably Sucked" Podcast

Roles

A brief example of a role is, "You are a professional television reporter with a degree in politics and journalism."
News Anchor
The role is configured to know it is a professional television news anchor working to report the news.
News Reporter
