Keep your finger on the pulse with the new media service from StiftungSchweiz

Keeping track of relevant media content without having to wade through the wealth of information – that’s what the new media service from StiftungSchweiz offers. It delivers precise, AI-generated summaries that are precisely tailored to your areas of interest. Interested users can now test the tool exclusively and thus contribute to the optimization of tailor-made media reviews.

The new media service from StiftungSchweiz is of interest to anyone who wants to take part in the discourse in their areas of interest – but simply does not have the time to sift through the wide range of relevant publications themselves every day. With the help of artificial intelligence (AI), the media service tool filters the information relevant to you from daily newspapers, trade journals, online media and news portals and processes it. The result: precise summaries from a wide range of journalistic content, compiled into your individual media review.

Test options at a glance

To make it easier for you to start using the new media service, there are two test options. On the one hand, you can join one of the eight basic networks, which focus on different topics. On the other hand, you have the option of having an individual media service created for you. The latter is based on your own keywords and offers a customized summary that is precisely tailored to your interests. In this way, you benefit from even more precise media monitoring that meets your personal requirements.

1. basic networks: focus on your topics

Eight basic networks are available for users who want to maintain an overview of broad subject areas. Six of these cover key topics such as social & societal issues, education, environment & sustainability and art & culture. Two further networks focus on methods in the areas of philanthropy and non-profit management. The media service provides relevant articles from the selected areas and short summaries.

2. individualized media service: Your personal media review

For even more targeted media monitoring, the new tool can also be used to create an individual media service with your own filter keywords. You define in advance which topics you would like to focus on. The tool also monitors the specific terms and integrates the relevant articles into your network. In your individual summary, you determine their length and your preferred language, for example.

Let’s take an example: You are primarily interested in environmental issues and recommended solutions in the context of philanthropy – the service filters accordingly and finds an original report on an experiment to preserve trees in the Welsh Pfyn Forest.

You instruct the tool with the following information for the individualized summary:

“Here we pursue topics such as climate protection, environmental protection and nature conservation, biodiversity and sustainability in general. Where are new challenges emerging in Switzerland or globally? Where are new solutions emerging? How can foundations and non-profit organizations effectively counter negative trends and powerfully accelerate positive developments?”

The text is processed into a relevant summary for you based on the specified parameters. This not only bundles the most important statements of the three-page text in short form. In accordance with the specifications, the AI also places a special focus on the specifications contained in the summary, for example your foundation purpose or funding focus.

The customized summaries allow you to keep up to date with the latest findings and developments, for example in the environmental sector, and ensure that you do not miss any relevant information or specific recommendations for action.
