What Naviga Newsroom Planner is
Naviga Newsroom Planner is a browser-based planning tool for editorial teams coordinating events, stories, and assignments from idea through publication. Editors and managers can keep article, photo, video, and digital development plans together, with asset status visible in a shared planning hub. Teams can link different story assets to a coverage plan and edit them there. Pitches and ideas can remain in a backlog until they are scheduled or plans change. Assignments connect work to a plan and identify who is responsible and when; email notifications alert reporters and photographers to assignments and changes. An article assignment can create a draft in Naviga Writer. Templates support plans with tagging already in place, and teams can use the product as provided or configure it for newsroom terminology and workflows. Integrations include Naviga Writer, Naviga Photos, and Publication Planner. The Content Creation Tools API can support plugins and integrations. Naviga hosts and manages the SaaS product in Amazon Web Services. Pricing is available on request.
