Abstract
A newsroom computer graphical user interface and method for displaying a workspace including non-overlapping, cooperating panels. A first of the panels displays a queue of news stories from a selected data file. A second panel displays the text of a news story selected from the queue. The workspace is displayed in a main application window on a display screen of a computer system that is coupled to a network. The first and second panels may share a common moveable border. A third panel may also be displayed that includes a directory tree of data files from which the selected data file is selected. The second panel may include sub-panels such as one that displays the text of the selected news story; a second that displays information about the news story; and a third that displays machine code for manipulating machines, such as a video playback device, during a broadcast. The machine code may be anchored to a predetermined point in the text displayed in the first sub-panel. The predetermined point is a location in the text at which the machines are controlled in response to the machine code.
