Media Outlet: SearchBusinessAnalytics.com
Deadline: 10:00 PM EST - 15 January
Query:
I am working on a story for SearchbusinessAnalytics on "Data
governance for self-service analytics." This piece will be a
brief look at the role of data governance for self-service BI.
There should be an overview of best practices as well as why
it's important to a BI architecture. I am looking for sources
that can weigh in on the following via email. (Note its
preferred that sources deep dive into one or two best practices
rather than list a bunch of them.) -How can governance
strategies help maintain data quality - particularly in the
context of self-service analytics and how does this differ from
traditional analytics? -What are some data governance best
practices that support self-service BI? (Note this is the meat
of the article. For each practice, could you elaborate on why
its important, the challenges folks might run into, and how to
make it work in practice?)
Thanks in advance, George

Query:
Hi there,
I'm looking for responses to the below questions from experts on
the uses of AI in content creation.
Feel free to pick and choose which questions to answer if you
wish.
Thanks in advance, Joel
Questions: In what ways is AI being used to automate content
creation? How far are we from viable works of literature
composed by machine?
What parameters are used to teach AI models the definition of
quality content? (i.e. there must be a formula for perfect
content, differing for each type)
One person's definition of quality may differ drastically from
another's, especially where literature is concerned. How do AI
content creation tools account for differences in taste?
In what ways could AI content creation tools be misused? What
are the dangers?
Are we at risk of minimizing certain art forms/demographics not
properly represented in the models used to train art-producing
AI?
Is there still a role for human writers to play in a future in
which AI is able to compose technically immaculate content?
How might content rights be affected by the arrival of AI
content creation?
Requirements:
Looking for brief responses (200-ish words) to the above
questions from experts in the field of AI content creation.

A large portion of our audience is 24-35 and working in tech
industries, or in other jobs that require them to be online
often. They're usually using multiple devices, apps, and tools
throughout the day and struggle to "disconnect." Going into
focused, quiet time is a challenge, and creating boundaries
between work and leisure is even more challenging.
I'm looking for professionals who work with similar audiences to
share some of their insights into interventions and processes
that help to break that cycle, free up mental space, create a
sense of clarity, or similar.

Query:
A soon-to-be published study of 4,000 professionals found that
women report lower levels of happiness, emotional well-being,
and success with group work than men while working remotely
during COVID-19.
We're producing an article that takes an in-the-trenches look at
why. That way, businesses can better understand the challenges
their remote employees face, and build more inclusive cultures
to connect their remote workers going forward. Questions:
1) Why do you think less women (48%) report good or better
mental health than men (58%) while working remotely during
COVID-19?
2) Why do you think more women (46%) report struggling with
group work than men (37%) while working remotely during COVID-19?
3) Surprisingly, caretakers (who are predominantly women) report
being happier and more productive working remotely than
non-caretakers, despite having more household interruptions. Why
do you think that is?
4) Anything else you'd like to add about the challenges women
face working remotely during COVID-19.
All quotes used will include a backlink. Article will publish on
one of the top unified communications blogs with more than 30K
organic visitors per month and an 80+ domain rating.
Requirements:
We're seeking insight from women leaders who can speak from the
perspective of their own challenges, and what they observe about
their team's challenges.

Query:
Hi, My name is Sheldon Chi. I am responsible for coordinating
stories for the 1Mby1M blog [1mby1m.com]]. The Entrepreneur
Journeys (EJ) series is our flagship series and we're looking
for interesting cloud unicorn companies to feature in lengthy
feature stories. We are interested in interviewing the
entrepreneur who can and is willing to discuss, at length, the
nuances of the strategy and process of company building,
spanning topics such as bootstrapping, financing, positioning,
customer acquisition, channels, team building, etc. To pitch,
please provide revenue level, industry (Our interests:
E-Commerce, Cloud Computing, SaaS, Mobile, Social, Big Data,
IoT, FinTech, Digital Media, Gaming, Healthcare IT, Online
Education, etc.) and focus of the story angle in terms of
company-building experience. We use the revenue level as a
qualification criterion for selecting entrepreneurs to profile.
We don't necessarily have to publish this number in the actual
story. The Entrepreneur Journeys series has already produced 12
books (http://tinyurl.com/4p4phwy). You can see examples of the
series on our blog (http://tinyurl.com/d8m9mt). This blog is
part of the One Million by One Million global initiative, whose
aim is to help a million entrepreneurs reach $1 million in
annual revenue. We also use the EJ interviews as case studies to
teach other entrepreneurs how to navigate the entrepreneurial
waters. You get publicity, as well as a platform to share your
lessons from the trenches with a large number of aspiring and
practicing entrepreneurs. 1M/1M has syndication relationships
with many venues: HBR, Xconomy, SmallBizTrends, EconomicTimes
(India), Women 2.0, Mashable, Huffington Post, Business Insider,
ReadWriteWeb, and several other sites. Articles we develop
through these interviews often get repackaged for the
syndication partners. The 1Mby1M blog was named by Forbes in the
Top 100 Blog for Entrepreneurs (http://onforb.es/1a6RkOs). The
procedure is to have a one-hour interview by phone or in-person
in Menlo Park, at our office. We will provide the dial-in for
phone interviews, and the address for the in-person interviews.
Requirements:
When you send in your pitch, please be sure to include the
revenue level, as it is the primary criterion we use to select
stories. Unlike other entrepreneurship media, we do not look for
financing as a criterion for determining story worthiness. Also,
if your revenue threshold is below the $5M level currently, you
are welcome to email me, and I will check if your story might
fit in any of our other series. To give you a flavor, here are
some of our other ongoing series: The 1M/1M Deal Radar: Revenue
between $1M and $5M, high growth rate. We typically do email
interviews for this series. Thought Leader Interviews: We also
have Thought Leader Series opportunities in Cloud Computing,
Cyber Security, Mobile and Social, Big Data, Outsourcing, Online
Education, e-commerce, Gaming, Online Fashion, HealthcareIT,
Internet Of Things, etc. These require, however, that the
company has a minimum of $5M in revenue.

the topic of cloud computing. Sramana Mitra was also named as

(https://goo.gl/AN9TjS). Indicate in your pitch the revenue
level, as we use this as a qualification criterion for selecting
entrepreneurs to profile. We don't necessarily have to publish

Media Inquiry Process Mining Trends
I am working on a story for Venture Beat looking at process
mining trends in 2021. We are specifically looking at the
improvements in technology for automatically analyzing how
businesses work by mining server logs, user data, and other
techniques under the theory that the only way businesses can
improve is to improve their ability to understand what they are
doing now. I am looking for sources that can weigh in on the
following via email. (Note: One or two insightful anecdotes or
novel thoughts are preferable to complete answers to all of
these).
-In what significant ways do you think the technology behind
process mining and its use cases has evolved over the last
couple of years and how has this expanded the use cases, ease of
use, and value of the technology? -What are some of your
favorite examples of ways that process mining has created value
for companies in practice? -What do you expect to be some of the
biggest trends around the technology and use of process mining
in 2021? -How do you expect the use of process mining technology
to complement and augment other enterprise technologies like
RPA, low/no-code development, user journey mapping, and the
Internet of Things in the near future? -What do you see as some
of the biggest challenges with making process mining work well
and some of the best practices for addressing these?
