Daily Newspaper
A daily newspaper has little room between assignment, editing, layout and dispatch. Set each edition up as a project with a named Editor, due date and budget. The desk then enters assignments against the edition date and gives each story a Reporter and deadline. The corresponding content items carry the publication lifecycle and connect to the project.
How Print Media / Newspaper is set up for you
Morning desk
The Editor reviews Assignment Board for stories still assigned, drafting or editing. Reporters find their work on Assignment Board.
Review window
The Editor moves content into review while the Rights Reviewer checks the current file revision and agreement coverage.
Layout handoff
The Production Lead follows task states and due dates on Production Board; the Editor reviews those tasks before publication.
Route closeout
The Circulation Manager captures copies dispatched and returned by edition date and route.
A daily newspaper has little room between assignment, editing, layout and dispatch. Set each edition up as a project with a named Editor, due date and budget. The desk then enters assignments against the edition date and gives each story a Reporter and deadline. The corresponding content items carry the publication lifecycle and connect to the project.
Begin with one upcoming edition rather than importing every historic project. Enter its project, desk assignments, people records, stories, current files, rights agreements and production tasks. Use one route to rehearse dispatch and returns. This pilot shows whether people identities, project links and deadlines are correct before the desk depends on them under daily pressure.
For a story changed during layout, upload the new file revision and repeat the approval decision. The Editor publishes only after current approval and rights checks pass. The route record then gives operations a dated account of dispatch and returns linked to the edition's operational content item.
