Invite as many contributors as you like, to participate in your editorial production and submit pitch ideas for new assignments. Email alerts will automatically confirm that a pitch has been successful.

Calendar

Manage your publishing schedule by seeing which assignments are running late and which days you need to line more content up for. Quickly reschedule existing assignments by dragging and dropping them to a new day.

Create assignments

Select who you want to work on a new assignment by choosing specific reporters, or allowing anyone in a desk to claim the work. Your reporters will be notified by email when they've got new work to do.
