# News Segmentation

News segmentation analyzes news broadcasts, identifies the times at which news stories start and finish, and extracts the key concepts from each story. This task requires that you first run speech-to-text and text segmentation. For more information about configuring news segmentation, refer to the Media Server Administration Guide.
