Hearst Corporation's Innovation group, the Reynolds Journalism Institute (RJI) at the University of Missouri School of Journalism and Adobe Systems Inc. today announced the two winning teams in a student competition to produce interactive applications that solve real-world needs in the advertising or news-gathering sides of the journalism industry. The winning designs are Ads with Photo Galleries, by Akshay Dave, Brent Davidson, Adam Falk, Daniel Maxon and Amit Vyawahare; and the Interactive Consumer Recommendation Engine, by Esten Hurtle, Ryan Martin, Justin Myers and Allan Vestal.
For the competition, journalism and computer science students at the University of Missouri worked in teams to use Adobe products to create programs that would address key media business challenges, as identified by Hearst. The winning Ads with Photo Galleries project creates a fresh way of engaging with multimedia that generates premium advertising positions for sponsors. The winning Interactive Consumer Recommendation Engine allows consumers to match their preferences with a variety of products. Both projects will be considered for use in Hearst's new and existing businesses.
