Naviga Newsroom Planner gives editorial teams one place to manage plans, events, and assignments from an idea through publication. Its browser-based planning hub brings together article, photo, video, and digital development plans, with asset status visible alongside coverage plans. Teams can link different types of story assets to a plan and edit those assets from the plan itself. Editors can keep pitches and story ideas in a backlog, then move them onto the publication schedule or use them when plans change. Assignments connect work to a plan and show who is responsible and when. Email notifications tell reporters and photographers about new assignments and plan changes. Article assignments can also create a draft in Naviga Writer. Template-based configuration supports plans with tagging already in place, while newsroom metadata and terminology can be configured to match editorial workflows. Teams can use the product out of the box or configure it for their newsroom. Naviga Newsroom Planner integrates with Naviga Writer, Naviga Photos, and Publication Planner, and its Content Creation Tools API supports custom plugins and integrations. Naviga hosts and manages the SaaS product in Amazon Web Services. Pricing is available by contacting Naviga.
