Conclusion

After the discussions with Ricardo (J++ Porto) and Thorsten Klein/Danny Wagner it seems possible to integrate the CrowdNewsRoom into the structure with few and manageable adjustments.

The simplest form of integration would be multiple deploys.

For a complete integration into the system the following three adjustments are necessary as mentioned above:

• Authentication via OAuth

• Separate content by newsroom

• Make media data and uploads from the interviews available only to the relevant newsroom editors
