Superdesk Review

Superdesk is an open source headless content management system (CMS) created specifically for news agencies and journalists. The software boasts a scalable API functionality that allows users to add functionality relevant to their roles and tasks. The tools of this platform have been developed together with journalists in real news outlets such as version control, full document management, a robust text editor, version control and approval process control to name a few. Additionally, Superdesk can be integrated with many legacy systems and third-party applications used by media organizations and news agencies, allowing users to easily adopt this solution into their existing workflows rather than reviewing how they work.

SUPERDESK – TUTORIAL

Let’s watch this video tutorial together to learn how an article on this CMS solution fits:

SUPERDESK – FEATURES

• A clean and intuitive design: the interface was designed to be easy for journalists to use, while providing a coherent view of the workflow and production for editorial managers. This elegant simplicity hides incredible flexibility and power. Customizing users to meet their individual needs and preferences gives them the control to ensure their workspace is optimized for what their work requires.
• Powerful personalization options: create a more productive editorial environment with the Superdesk suite of personalization tools. As an editorial user, you can create desks on the fly to tell the story of big events like Olympics, World Cup or elections. You can also set up a widget to monitor football scores or track the progress of a space probe
• Easily create and save custom searches: with powerful built-in elastic search functionality, it allows editorial users to build complex search queries across multiple repositories and import sources, and view real-time results in a dashboard widget or monitoring view. These custom searches can also be saved and retrieved later, or can be shared with others in the press room
• Press room automation: equipped with a variety of tools to accelerate and automate news production. At any time while creating or editing an article, a reporter can choose to create a template of that work. An example would be the market open / close ratios of each major global index each day of the week.
