News Management
EnaCast includes a news module that lets you publish articles on your station’s website. You can create news manually, schedule publication, feature articles, and organize content with tags.
Creating a News Article
Section titled “Creating a News Article”-
Open the news: go to the management panel at studio.enacast.com and, in the sidebar, under Content, open News. Click New Article at the top right.
-
Write the title — the main title of the article, in the Title field. It should be clear and descriptive (up to 240 characters).
-
Add a subtitle (optional) in the Subtitle field, up to 240 characters. If you leave it empty, it is generated automatically with AI (see the section on the automatic sub-headline below).
-
Add a main image (optional but recommended; recommended size: 1200x675 px, 16:9). You can add a Caption and a Photo credit to it. EnaCast automatically generates different cropped versions for the front page, social media, and previews.
-
Assign tags to categorize the article in the Tags field: type and press Enter. You can select existing tags from the suggestions or create new ones.
-
Choose the author (optional) in the Author (optional) field.
-
Write the body of the article in the Content field, using the rich text editor. You can include formatting, links, and images.
-
Choose how to save it under Scheduling: Save draft, Publish now or Schedule for later, then click the button at the bottom of the form.
Publishing and Scheduling
Section titled “Publishing and Scheduling”News articles have three possible states:
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Not visible to readers. You can edit it at your own pace |
| Scheduled | Will be published automatically on the date and time you set |
| Published | Visible on the station’s website |
The Status column of the news list shows each article’s state.
Scheduling Publication
Section titled “Scheduling Publication”To schedule an article, choose Schedule for later under Scheduling, set the Publication date and time and click Schedule news. The article will be published automatically when that moment arrives, with no manual intervention needed.
Featuring Articles
Section titled “Featuring Articles”You can feature an article so it always appears at the top of the news list, regardless of its publication date.
- Tick Feature news in the article form, or use the Mark as featured icon in the news list
- Optionally, fill in Featured until (optional) so the article stops being featured automatically when it’s no longer relevant. Leave it empty to keep it featured indefinitely
News List
Section titled “News List”The News page shows the news totals (Total News, Published, Drafts, Featured) and the list of articles with the Article, Date, Status and Reads columns. Above the list you have:
- A search box
- The All news, Published, Drafts and Featured buttons
- The Filter by tag drop-down
- The Date filter, with ranges such as the last 7 or 30 days, this month or this year
Tags let you organize news articles by topic. Each tag has:
- A title visible to readers
- A slug (URL identifier) generated automatically
- A public page on the website with all its articles
Tags are managed with the Manage Tags button on the News page. See News Tags.
Images
Section titled “Images”Each article can have a main image used as:
- Article cover in the news list
- Social media sharing image (Open Graph format)
- Thumbnail in previews
Automatic AI Sub-headline
Section titled “Automatic AI Sub-headline”If your station has the Pro plan, EnaCast automatically generates a sub-headline for each published article using artificial intelligence. This sub-headline complements the main headline with additional information extracted from the article body.
The AI-generated sub-headline is only shown if you haven’t written a manual one. You can edit or replace it at any time.
News RSS Feed
Section titled “News RSS Feed”News articles are automatically published to an RSS feed that readers can subscribe to.
