News

Menu Path: Contents > News

The News module is structurally identical to the Blog module but serves a fundamentally different purpose on your frontend. It is intended for corporate announcements, official press releases, event highlights, and timely company updates.

Separating News from the Blog allows you to:

  1. Maintain completely different visual layouts on the frontend (e.g., a formal, list-based press room vs. a highly visual, grid-based blog).
  2. Segment your SEO strategies and XML sitemaps.
  3. Manage different author permissions (e.g., PR team manages News, Content team manages Blog).

Creating a News Announcement​

The workflow for publishing a news piece is the same as writing a blog post.

  1. Navigate to Contents > News.
  2. Click "Add New".
  3. Fill out the properties:

1. Basic Info​

  • Title: The headline of the press release.
  • Status: You can prepare press releases in advance as Drafts and set them to Published right when the news embargo lifts.
  • Category: Categorize news items (e.g., "Press Releases", "Company Updates", "In the Media").
  • Slug: The URL structure.
  • Abstract: A brief executive summary of the announcement.

2. Media​

  • Featured Image: The primary image (like a company logo or an event photo) representing the news.
  • Gallery: Upload additional media, such as event coverage photos or product launch shots.

3. Content (Rich Text)​

  • The body of your press release. Use the editor to format your text, insert quotes from executives, and provide detailed corporate updates.

4. SEO​

  • Optimize the news piece so journalists and stakeholders can easily find your announcements on Google.
  1. Click "Save" to instantly publish your news to the dedicated Press/News section of your platform.
