In another community topic, Craig from Calkins was discussing adding a "Fact Box" on articles to show transparency about how the article was written.

I would actually love to talk to you guys about this more. What can TownNews.com do, as your CMS, to help you establish greater trust with your readers?

We've actually been in discussions with Google on ways to employ Fact Check schema in our articles, using ClaimReview and Fact Check data. I think this would be like a Related Content item, but would have some little fields along with it, such as the claim that was made, the "rating" of the claim (true/false on a scale), and the source that was used to verify/debunk the claim. These would be separate Content items, so you could multiples per article, and could even drag them inline next to the claim being made.

As part of that, I'm also looking at ways for news orgs to be more transparent in reporting...

Some ideas that were being discussed:

• Headline labels to differentiate opinion, satire, commentary, etc. (To avoid confusion that this item may not be news)
• Publication information - date posted, edits, updates, maybe revisions
• Location of reporter
• Sources / citations / references
• Questions from users in response to the article
• Conflicts of interest and other declarations
• Updates (Related Content item)
• Corrections (Related Content item)

And then I like Craig's additions of:

• researched by ___
• edited by ___
• interviews conducted

Also maybe:

• fact checked by ___

Maybe there would be a way to differentiate stories that had this information versus other stories? Like, there would be an icon next to the headline... ?

Also, should this be fielded data to help each newsroom remember to write each thing? It could even be like a wizard for the reporter to fill out... Or should it be just a free-form box where you type stuff in?

What do you guys think? Would you use this? Is there even time for this in resource-strapped newsrooms?

We use photo collections throughout the site, but often find them being built with images that are set to Do Not Publish in the status. It would be helpful to see the status along with the other Title and Start Time for each item within the collection. Would anyone else find this helpful?

Our publications recently switched to Flex. With the switch, photos in mugshot no longer appear as small images to the left at the top of the story. Instead, they are really large photos all the way at the bottom, which is not ideal for mugshots. Are there any efforts to change this?

Revenue resolutions: Easy ways to make more money from your site in 2017

At our January 2017 customer webinar, Christine Masters, director of product management at TownNews.com, will share exciting tips and techniques to help you find ways to make money in the new year. We'll talk about:

• Boosting ad revenue with advanced targeting techniques.
• Tapping the Content Exchange to create sponsored "niche" sections.
• Using SearchBoost to improve the reach of your print-to-online ads.
• . . . and lots more!

Keywords can be a little daunting when you're starting out but have a huge archive. We've never been big on using keywords but it's something I'm trying to change in the new year. Something that would make the job a lot easier would be to set a list of keywords and have BLOX comb through our assets and assign those keywords whenever the exact match is found.

There will undoubtedly be errors in the form of keywords being assigned incorrectly but the benefit of them being auto filled would surely outweigh the errors. And to help maybe you could have certain sections not be affected by the auto filled keywords, for instance obituaries.

And the responsibility to make sure the keywords are specific enough would rest on the individual webmasters. If there's a city official named John Smith, it wouldn't be a good idea to have a keyword of "john smith" auto assigned.

TCMS is a system that prides itself on being automated when it comes to web publishing. And it is for the most part. But TCMS requires a lot of clicks to get an asset to have all the info it needs before publication. There could be an easier way for assigning keywords given the proper pre-planning. I think adding a pre-set list of keywords that would then be auto assigned to assets would be a really big help in this automation.

Anyone else think they would benefit from this?

Would be useful to continue where a block page leaves off with a search page.
