A year ago R&D build an internal tool to help our political reporters quickly find quotes and context from presidential candidates. Today, the user facing version, inspired by that tool launches: https://www.wsj.com/talk2020 
A few points to highlight... (1) this relies heavily on emerging technology -- in this case *a lot* of NLP (2) the collaborative nature of this -- we're very lucky to work with Factiva, another Dow Jones brand, but also the reporters and editors who used the original tool daily
(3) this is a really good example of a successful R&D pipeline, from reporter idea, to Proof of Concept, to a more robust WSJ. experience.
(4) Service journalism! The goal of this experience is to help the WSJ audience. There are many more opportunities in this space.
So go and check it out and let us know what you think!
