Managing a newsroom means managing complexity. Editors coordinate teams, tasks, publishing channels, and deadlines, often across multiple platforms. Without the right overview and control, that complexity slows everything down. 

The new Story Card is designed specifically for editors who need clarity and coordination at the center of their workflow. It replaces the Detailed Story Entry with a more intuitive workspace that brings structure to even the most complex stories. 

For reporters who simply need to enter a story quickly, the upcoming Story Template will offer a streamlined option focused on fast input and minimal setup. Together, these tools support different roles while keeping the newsroom aligned. 

What’s New in the Story Card 

Information-rich layout 

The updated layout brings more key information into one integrated view and makes it immediately editable. Instead of separating details across multiple tabs, the Story Card surfaces what editors need in one workspace. 

By keeping tasks, publishing details, and responsibilities visible at a glance, it supports faster decisions and stronger coordination across the newsroom. This approach gives editors greater control while helping them manage complexity with confidence. 

New Context Box 

All supporting materials are now accessible in a dedicated side panel. 

The Context Box gives instant access to: 

• Update history 
• Maps for tasks and events 
• Attachments 
• Uploaded deliverables 

Editors can review documents and adjust story details without leaving the Story Card. This keeps workflows streamlined and reduces unnecessary navigation between views. 

What stays the same 

The Story Card keeps the familiar foundation teams rely on: 

• What is the story about? 
• What needs to be done? 
• When and where will it be published? 

Everything remains in one clear workspace, now enhanced with improved visibility and workflow support. 

The Story Card is not just a data entry form. It is an integrated workspace that supports the full lifecycle of a story, from planning to publishing.
