We’re excited to launch The Editorial Edge, a new podcast from Kordiam that shares real-world strategies from newsrooms rethinking how they plan, publish, and collaborate.

Each season brings highlights from Editorial Days, our customer event where newsroom professionals share how they’re adapting to fast-changing workflows, integrating platforms, and keeping journalism focused on what matters most. If you're navigating complex planning environments or looking for ideas to empower your editorial teams, this podcast is for you.

Episode 1: Heise’s Data-Driven Strategy

In our first episode, we spotlight Heise, a German newsroom that’s made performance data part of its daily editorial decisions. By integrating Kordiam with the analytics platform Upscore, Heise’s editors now access real-time metrics like article views and conversions directly within their planning workflow. This episode explores how that integration supports smarter topic selection, faster feedback, and clearer editorial priorities, all without disrupting how teams work.

As Upscore’s Nina Berger shared during Editorial Days 2025, the value isn’t just in having data. It’s in making it usable.

Episodes of The Editorial Edge will be released monthly. Each one focuses on a different newsroom or workflow challenge, giving you ideas you can apply to your own editorial workflow.
