Magazine

Added value for your platform

Publication date

There are many event calendars, but most lack in-depth information. This is especially unfortunate when young talents with low recognition stand alongside "big names." With OpenCulturas, you can create real added value:

  • Highlight recommendations
  • Reviews of productions
  • Background reports
  • Interviews
  • Dossiers on current focus topics
  • Funding programs and initiatives
  • News and press releases

Articles in the magazine and elsewhere

  • Structured data entry using clean editorial forms
  • Profiles for authors
  • Time-controlled publishing
  • Approval workflows
  • Support in creating accessible content
  • Search engine optimized

Content blocks for varied layouts

  • Editor with all modern formatting options, callouts, quotes, tables, etc.
  • Reusable images and A/V media with centralized license information and context-based captions
  • Photo series with sliders (also operable on smartphones)
  • Option to insert blocks with automated content

Individual teaser design

  • Headline, main image, and teaser text are automatically pulled from the linked content but can be overwritten to allow context-specific adjustments.
  • Also suitable for attractively designed teasers for external links.

Autor profiles

External authors can receive their own user account and design their profile on the platform themselves. Of course, profiles can also be managed editorially. On the profile page, all contributions by the author are automatically previewed.

Automatic landing pages

  • Simply create a category name (optionally with a featured image and introductory text) and select it in the article.
  • Automatic creation of category pages with corresponding collections of articles, sorted by recency
  • "Article types" allow separation from the magazine, for example, for an overview page of press releases
  • Subsets of articles can be flexibly editorially previewed on other pages (e.g. the first three teasers from a selected category)

Approval workflows for different editorial models

The OpenCulturas magazine is already being used in different ways:

  • Partially external editorial team: Selected users receive a role with appropriate permissions, create articles, save a draft, or submit the completed article for approval. The in-house editorial team receives an email notification, reviews the article, and publishes it (or sends it back for revision with a comment).
  • In-house editorial team with or without a two-person review: Articles can be published directly or released by another editorial member. The default moderation status (draft, for approval, published) is customizable. Email notifications are only sent if at least one recipient email has been centrally stored.
  • Community blog: Registered users can independently write blog posts and submit them as proposals but cannot publish them themselves. This requires only minor permission adjustments.
