Data & Insights
One of NewsTeam’s core principles is that every piece of content should be data-rich. From the article itself down to individual widgets, every element is stored with detailed metadata. This allows us to not only publish stories today but also build a knowledge base that grows more valuable over time.
Structured Content by Design
Section titled “Structured Content by Design”- Granular Metadata: Articles capture language, location, and mentioned entities (people, companies, places, events, etc.).
- Widget-Level Data: Even embedded elements — like videos or social posts — can be enriched with metadata, such as tagging the people or organizations featured.
- Cross-Linking: This structure connects stories, creators, sponsors, and assets in meaningful ways.
Our goal is to provide the most complete data structure of what an article is in 2025 — not just what is needed for a webpage, but what unlocks future use cases and products.
Future Dashboards
Section titled “Future Dashboards”In version 1, data is captured and stored but not yet visualized. In future releases, NewsTeam will ship first-party, interactive dashboards to help you explore and understand your content:
- What elements make up your stories most often
- Breakdown of production by creators or teams
- Staff productivity metrics and contribution analysis
- High-level performance insights by sites, feeds, or content type
These dashboards will give editorial and business teams a shared view of how content is being created, distributed, and consumed.
The Archive as an Asset
Section titled “The Archive as an Asset”Every newsroom has an archive, but too often it’s underutilized. With NewsTeam, the archive becomes a knowledge database:
- Smart Indexing: Powerful search and metadata tagging make old content easier to discover and reuse.
- Contextual Surfacing: When writing a new article, the system can surface related archival content — for example, past stories about the same person, company, or event.
- Long-Term Value: Instead of sitting idle, your archive actively supports your journalism and workflows.
Combined with the Messaging & Activity system, the archive can become part of the daily workflow — surfacing relevant context and history right where your team is collaborating.
Use Cases
Section titled “Use Cases”By structuring data at every level, NewsTeam opens the door to advanced applications:
- Recommendation Systems (future): Built-in engines will help suggest content placements to feeds, highlight related articles, and surface trending or relevant archive pieces.
- Audience Engagement: Data can fuel personalized experiences for readers across your sites and apps.
- Editorial Insight: Spot coverage gaps, over-represented topics, or high-performing content patterns to guide newsroom strategy.
- AI Assistance: Enable smarter tools for journalists, such as entity extraction, auto-tagging, and contextual prompts when creating new content.
In short: NewsTeam is designed not just to store your content, but to turn data into insight and make your archive an active partner in the storytelling process.
