Visual Global Entity Graph Adds Cloud Video Annotations Of MSNBC, Fox News and BBC To CNN To Support Covid-19 Research

The Visual Global Entity Graph (VGEG) has analyzed the evening news programming of ABC, CBS and NBC since 2010 through Google's Cloud Video API to analyze the visual landscape of television news. Since January 25, 2020 we've also analyzed CNN. To assist researchers in understanding the complete picture of how television news is covering Covid-19, we've added MSNBC, Fox News and BBC News London to this list as of today and over the coming days the Cloud Video API visual annotations of their 24/7 broadcasts will become available in the airtime and raw datasets and the TV Explorer AI. We're tremendously excited to see how this powerful counterpart to our traditional TV Explorer closed captioning search enables new kinds of understanding about how television news is covering these unprecedented times.
