We have submitted our final deliverable, and are winding down the project activities. Are you curious about the next steps with the CPN tools? Read on.
A panel of media professionals discussed the various methods for news content personalisation, what their media organisations have achieved with personalisation, and the common challenges related to algorithmic journalism.
As the CPN project reaches the end, we are delighted to invite media professionals interested in news personalisation to a webinar on Thursday 7 May at 3pm CET.
As part of the third pilot, news consumers tested the CPN app for a period of four weeks, providing us with valuable feedback on the performance of our recommender.
Many media professionals and news consumers fear that algorithmic personalisation can end up trapping readers in so-called filter bubbles. However, our review of the related research shows that concerns over the issue may be exaggerated.
Instead of using a single algorithm, the CPN platform takes advantage of a variety of techniques to produce personalised recommendations. The platform’s A/B testing module allows publishers to test and optimise the used configurations.
The CPN project is excited to welcome news readers to experience and test news personalisation with the CPN app. Find out more about the open pilot, and discover what we learned during the earlier rounds of user testing.
Our latest report details the final iteration of the technical infrastructure that provides the features and services of the CPN platform.
We presented our licensing solution, which will provide freelance journalists and media companies with new opportunities to distribute and sell their work, at the recent IPCT event.
Read our newsletter to learn how feedback from test users allows us to refine our personalisation software, how working with startups helps us improve the CPN tool, and more.

Major online platforms are facing intensifying calls for transparency on how they govern their users’ data. Smaller EU-based platforms such as CPN may have an advantage but need to make sure their privacy measures are up to the task.
Thanks to Personal Data Receipts, CPN users have an easy access to a full overview of what types of data the platform collects about them and what the data is used for.

Interested in personalisation? Good news: we’re inviting news organisations to explore and integrate the CPN recommender software!
The CPN hackathon gave tech and media companies the opportunity to learn about the CPN personalisation platform, and allowed them to kick-start their own collaborations that aim to build cutting-edge personalisation tools.
Almost 100 end-users tested the CPN news recommender platform during the first pilot phase. Here are the main takeaways from the pilot, information about the tested prototype, as well as details about the next steps.
CPN aims to rebuild trust in personalisation, be and stay relevant, and create a platform that meets the needs of different types of media organisations, large and small.
“A few pioneering media organisations have started to personalise their user experience. Here is what they did and what the next steps should be.”
How would you like to get news personalised to your taste? If this question doesn’t appeal to you, it’s not a surprise. While the concept of offering online content fitting to the person viewing it is nothing new, there is a great level of mistrust in the idea for different reasons.
The Global Media Forum is Deutsche Welle's yearly flagship media conference, that brings together decision-makers and influencers from the worlds of journalism, digital media, politics, business, civil society and academia. The event regularly attracts around 2.000 guests from more than 130 countries and took place in Bonn from June 11th-13th this year.
The main goal of the CPN project is to create innovation in the way content creators can structure content production, distribution and in-depth interaction with audiences.
Compared to neighbouring media industries, the news publishing industry has been relatively reluctant to adopt personalisation in their offering. CPN wants to actively take part in this evolution and assist European news publishers to adopt personalisation.
CPN is an Innovative Approach to Content Personalisation, write Tilman Wagner and Olga Kisselman (Deutsche Welle).
WAN-IFRA’s Global Alliance for Media Innovation has joined the project to connect it with its network of media professionals that could benefit from it.
Welcome to the CPN project (Content Personalisation Network)! With a team of broadcasters, media companies and technology providers, we work towards a new approach for personalising digital content, enabling economic impact for large and small news publishers.
