IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I'm only familiar with its use in the newsroom, where it's used to research previous news stories, biographical and real estate information. We also use it to try to track people down, looking for addresses and phone numbers of a subject, relatives, and neighbors. Certain people are more expert in different aspects.
Pros
- Searching for news stories on a subject.
- Tracking down people.
- Tracking down previous residences of a person.
Cons
- Not all address location information is accurate or up to date.
- The previous search function for news stories was easier to use than what was changed last year.
Likelihood to Recommend
It is good for researching previous news stories on a subject and it can be helpful for tracking down people and their biographical information. If you're looking for academic studies on a subject, this is not the best place to go in my opinion. It is also not always current with addresses and phone numbers.
