title = "SYNC: A Crowdsourcing Platform for News Co-editing",
abstract = "We present SYNC, a crowdsourcing platform that allows news audiences to read news curated, aggregated, organized, and edited by the crowd, and to participate in news aggregation and editing at anytime. Through crowdsourcing, SYNC brings together news information from diverse sources and from contributors with different perspectives, enabling news audiences to obtain a more complete context of specific news events, thereby synchronizing their knowledge of the event. SYNC employs {"}blocks{"}and a timeline to help with editors structure and organize news information, and a news material panel to facilitate finding news material to help with aggregation and editing. Our user evaluation showed that participants were positive about the usefulness and societal impacts of SYNC, and found the user interface easy to follow. They also indicated improvements to make to better support news aggregation and editing.",
