Newsroom OS

An operating system for a working newsroom.

Newsroom OS: product screenshot

Newsroom management for Guam News Network: assignment desk, editorial calendar, story tracking, staff, chat, and a newsroom-wide breaking-news mode, with a full offline demo mode and an installable PWA.

The problem

Small newsrooms coordinate breaking coverage through group chats and whiteboards. Assignment state, story status, and who's on what live in people's heads.

The system

One newsroom-shaped system: stories move across an assignment desk, a breaking-news switch changes the whole room's posture, and every role from intern to news director sees the view they need.
