Content Hub

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.

The text here will display as the search engine result snippet. This text is the item's 'elevator speech', a one-sentence highlight of your content.

SiteMasonry's versioning workflow allows content to be modified in an un-published Draft state without changing the publically viewable (Published) version of the page or content item (news item, profile, or program)

George Mason University is committed to ensuring an inclusive digital experience. Both the SiteMasonry and Mason WordPress themes comply with Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA standards. One essential practice to maintain accessibility is adding descriptive alt text to images.
