FAQ
How can Newscoop Pro help my organisation?
One of the biggest challenges facing news organisations today is the pressure to produce more with less. Sourcefabric takes into account each organisation's marketplace, revenue opportunities and resources and builds stable, scalable and secure platforms that increase both print and online profits whilst cutting costs through better design and greater efficiency.
Why shouldn’t I use Wordpress, Joomla or Drupal?
Those are great tools for building blogs and other sites, but media organisations have specific requirements that require specific tools. Made by journalists, Newscoop has exactly what news teams need - simple interfaces, intelligent image management, powerful media archives, multilinguality for staff and readers, a flexible front-end that can be changed at the press of a button... the list goes on.
Why is Newscoop more cost effective than proprietary CMSes?
Our open source approach to software projects minimises expensive software licenses and in many cases completely eliminates them. Plus there's no forced upgrade costs, fast and continual feature development, easy integration of third party tools, greater robustness, increased software durability and a worldwide community of experience and expertise to draw from!
Will I need an in-house technician?
Newscoop Pro is like an entire team of technicians, but at a fraction of the cost. When you add up how much you spend a year on server maintenance, software upgrades, security patches and callout fees, Newscoop Pro begins to look like a bargain. However, if you have the resources, we can devise a plan that works alongside your in-house expertise.
