What it is
Naviga Newsroom Planner is a browser-based planning hub for editorial teams tracking events, plans, and assignments from an idea through publication. Editors can manage article, photo, video, and digital-development work while viewing asset status in one place. Different asset types can be linked under a coverage plan and edited from that plan. Story ideas and pitches can remain in a backlog, then move onto the publication schedule or support changed plans. Assignments identify who is responsible and when; email notifications alert reporters and photographers to assignments and plan changes. An article assignment can create a draft in Naviga Writer. Template-based setup supports plans with tagging, while newsroom metadata and terminology can be configured for local workflows. Teams can use the product as delivered or configure it further. Integrations include Naviga Writer, Naviga Photos, and Publication Planner. The Content Creation Tools API supports plugins and integrations. Naviga hosts and manages the SaaS product in Amazon Web Services. Access is listed for web and API, with calendar views and multi-channel support. Pricing is not published.
