Using content creation workflow tools in an editorial room offers several benefits that streamline the publishing process and enhance the quality of the content. Here are some key advantages:
Editorial Lists (article list) lets you manage content presented in the specific sections of your website (e.g. sections of the homepage) or promoting stories in selected categories.
Images play an important part in every article. They are the entry point to stories and often determine whether a reader clicks on an article. They engage the audience, convey information effectively, capture attention, evoke emotions, and provide context. Whether it’s a photograph, an informative chart, or a historical image, visuals enrich the narrative and make articles more memorable. So don't hesitate to use it. But remember to use the proper license.
Embedding content such as X (former Twitter) posts, Facebook updates, Instagram images, and YouTube videos directly into your articles can significantly enhance the overall quality and engage your readers. A well-designed article with embedded content creates a seamless user experience, encouraging readers to delve deeper into your content. Integrating social media posts directly into your articles provides a richer experience for readers. They can view tweets, Facebook updates, or Instagram photos related to the topic without leaving your site. For example, you could include statements by several people from different platforms on one topic in one article. This makes the content complete and interesting.
In today's fast-paced world, live coverage is becoming increasingly important as it provides real-time updates on events, satisfying people's insatiable appetite for immediate information. The media and users both benefit from this, as it enables media outlets to be the first to break news, while also providing an engaging platform for users.
According to the Reuters Institute Report with trends for 2024, news publishers are gearing up to produce an increasing amount of video content. With a growing preference for video over text, particularly among younger audiences, platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts are gaining immense popularity. In light of this trend, it's also worth exploring the potential of video playlists, which offer the flexibility to curate and update video lists.
Sometimes there is a need to include a data table within the content of an article. However, this makes it difficult to edit/update the table and may also cause problems with the readability of the data on mobile due to the scaling of the image. In this case, it is worthwhile to have and use the table functionality, with the possibility of formatting the content in the cells.
