Narrativa Navigator for News Automation
How RTVE and Narrativa revolutionized local election coverage with AI
Radio Televisión Española
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Radio Televisión Española (RTVE) and Narrativa used Narrativa Navigator to automate real-time election reporting across Spain—delivering accurate, localized coverage with speed, scale, and journalistic integrity. The impact? Industry recognition and a prestigious award from TM Broadcast Spain for Best Project in Artificial Intelligence Implementation.
A public service innovation
Spain’s municipal elections presented a familiar challenge: how to cover thousands of localities—especially the smallest municipalities—with meaningful, accessible reporting. Traditional methods made it impossible to reach every town. Narrativa’s Navigator changed that.
By transforming structured electoral data into clear, informative articles, RTVE and Narrativa brought real-time, localized election news to even the most remote corners of the country.
Award-winning impact
The TM Broadcast jury recognized the project as the most powerful application of AI in the media sector—not just for its innovation, but for its commitment to public service.
- Automatic generation of electoral updates for thousands of municipalities
- Text-to-speech integration, enhancing accessibility for all users
- Content tailored to Spain’s 17 autonomous communities and their cities
- Live updates on demographics, population, turnout, and political outcomes
From data to story—In seconds
Narrativa’s AI platform took real-time election data and automatically generated informative news articles, supervised by RTVE editors. Each piece was:
- Reliable – Fully grounded in official datasets
- Readable – Adapted for public broadcast audiences
- Scalable – Covering large cities and small villages alike
Amplifying the human voice
This wasn’t about replacing journalists. It was about equipping them. The AI handled the bulk of repetitive reporting, allowing RTVE’s newsroom to focus on analysis, interviews, and live coverage—bringing a deeper layer of insight to the audience.
Results that matter
- Full national coverage with local granularity
- Faster publication than traditional methods
- Recognition from TM Broadcast Spain as a benchmark for AI in media
The future of public broadcasting
This project is a shining example of how AI can empower journalism, especially when aligned with public service values. RTVE and Narrativa have proven that with the right tools, it’s possible to democratize information access—bringing visibility to every community, no matter how small.
