YOUR EDITORIAL OFFICE’S NIS4 WORKFLOWS

Your editorial office is a group of skilled individuals, each with their own creative capability and experienced approach, but you all work together as a team to reliably and accurately bring the news that your audience needs to know to air as soon as it happens. NIS4 is designed to work for your team to achieve this by supporting their individual roles, and their part in the overall newsroom workflow, rather than your team having to work the computer system’s technology…

FLEXIBILITY
In this section of the web site we present some workflows from some “typical” roles in a newsroom, written from that role’s perspective. We appreciate though that news operations differ between countries, regions and even editorial offices in the same organisation. By the nature of the programmes, channel or local culture, some operations may be highly disciplined with clear roles defined and a precise workflow. Others may be more fluid, with highly variable roles and all the news coming together only minutes before on-air. Whatever your workflow and editorial office approach, NIS4 is designed to be flexible enough to provide the tools to support you. This section should therefore be read only as an indication of how NIS4 can support newsroom roles. We’d be pleased to work with you to ensure it fits your operations.

EFFICIENCY
Common to all the newsroom operations though is the NIS4 ability to increase efficiency and productivity. With easy-to-use and uncluttered desktops, all the newsroom personnel can quickly search and find the information they need, add their specialised input and make the resulting work available to other parts of the editorial office. The technical architecture of the system ensures that NIS4 is reliable for the pressures of 24x7 news coverage, with the right tools and information available at all times to rapidly and accurately get breaking news to air. Its cross-platform functionality also means that content created for, say television, can rapidly be repurposed for radio, web, text TV, teletext or other platforms. We’d be pleased to discuss with you where you’d like to see NIS4 achieve efficiency gains in your operation.

In summary, NIS4 is here to enable all the personnel in your newsroom perform their roles more easily and with less stress, while still achieving the productivity and high quality of news that your channel demands.
