Content Hub News Items

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.

You may be used to thinking of content from a top-down view. However, content is not just a tree you navigate to reach the fruit. Content forms webs, networks that are forged by in-page links and other such connections.

Some older articles are using a content block setup no longer compatible with the current system. Here's how to fix those.

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.

The summary text is a news item's 'elevator speech'. It is a one-sentence highlight of the article which displays both as the search engine snippet and intro text on a social media share.

Blockquote styling is the unsung, and versatile, hero of a reader-friendly page or news item.

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.

The SiteMasonry's distributed content library, Content Hub, allows editors to add and share news articles, faculty profiles, and program descriptions to any (or all) sites on the SiteMasonry platform.
