Abstract

See full text

Described herein is a system that draws from an archive of media objects to associate appropriate media objects with current news articles. The media object archive includes an index having an entry for each media object. The index associates a set of one or more keywords with each media object, and a set of one or more search criteria with each media object. With regard to a particular news story, the system first identifies an initial group of relevant media objects having associated keywords that are contained in the news story. The system then evaluates the search criteria associated with each media object in the identified group against the news story, and limits the group by removing any media object from the group if the search criteria associated with that media object are not satisfied by the news story. A remaining media object from this limited group is then selected for association with the news story.
