CNN unveils discovery dashboard to track top news stories

CNN announced the launch of CNN Trends, a news discovery dashboard that enables users to track and explore the Web’s most buzzed about stories. The interactive dashboard identifies the most conversation-provoking news topics to pair with a CNN story and content from up to ten additional sources. 

“A healthy media diet consists of news, analysis and perspectives from more than one source,CNN Trends embraces that concept and expands on it by allowing the social Web to determine which stories are featured.  It’s the perfect place to discover new content and advance the narrative of a trending headline.” said KC Estenson, SVP CNN Digital   

“Zite is helping CNN transform the way information is bundled and delivered to consumers,we’re excited to partner with CNN because they understand the power of Zite’s technology and are implementing it in unique ways to embrace modern media consumption habits.” said Zite CEO Mark Johnson.

Available on the CNN.com desktop site and through mobile web at www.cnn.com/trends, CNN Trends will also be featured in modules on the CNN homepage, U.S. and World sections of the site.
