Content Hub

Making a top-notch news story requires thinking from a multitude of angles. To stand out, it really needs to be an appealing and good experience for all readers, regardless of platform, format, and engagement style.

When creating a profile, you can add in topic tags, much like you would to a news article. This can be utilized with the profile list block to create dynamic lists of staff members.

Academic program pages let you make a centralized promotional page that can be called upon from any SiteMasonry site connected to Content Hub. This is particularly handy as news stories frequently mention academic programs tied to people or events going on.

This content type is formatted to display a person’s name, photo, position, contact information, and bio, among other things. Once a profile is made, it can be connected to news stories to highlight those featured in the story.

If you want to make your article more appealing, you can add elements to your article on that page to better attract people to your content.

A highly-engaging news story with optimized formatting increases human readability, accessibility, and searchability. Learn how to make a news story within SiteMasonry.

Content that follows digital accessibility and web content best practices is easier for site visitors to navigate, for search engines to interpret, and for editors to maintain over time. Well-structured stories also perform better in search results and are more likely to be shared across social platforms.

Social media shares increase Mason’s digital impact by connecting with potential new visitors and improving a news item’s search engine ranking.  Even if you have no distribution plans of your own, web content is highly shareable, and one can’t predict which stories will be shared by your readers.

News Items with the same Topic Tag will appear together in a news item filter list and are grouped into a taxonomy list. News Items shared with a site will export to the designated subscribing site.

This 'Display Date' field is used to list news items by 'Display Date' order in a news list filter block. This field appears near the top of a news item admin screen.

The 'Display Date' does not affect the page's visibility to end-users. To schedule the news item to publish on a specific date, please use the publication settings at the bottom of the news item's 'Edit Settings' screen.
