One story, five disconnected systems
Newsroom tooling has traditionally been split across systems: a wire terminal, a script editor, a rundown application, a web CMS, a social scheduler. Every handoff between them loses context. OpenNRCS folds that chain into a single surface where the source material, the broadcast script, the show clock, and the published article are all views of the same story.
One workspace from wire to air
The feed
AFP, Reuters Connect, RSS, and Google News arrive in one live stream. AI triage assigns flash, urgent, or normal priority to open-feed items, while agency wire priorities carry straight through. Media is preserved in the project library, and agency updates stay attached to the original item instead of piling up as duplicates.
One story, three angles
A story is written once and angled three ways: a TV script, a web article, and a social post. The script is built from typed blocks and times itself at about 150 words per minute, and the whole editor is RTL-aware for Arabic.
The rundown
Lettered segments hold story rows against live timing columns. Readiness chips show script, media, CG, and timing state at a glance, live mode turns the grid into the on-air surface, and templates spawn a standing show structure in one step.
AI the newsroom steers
Three prompts owned by the newsroom set the editorial direction, the anchor-read style, and the voice-over style. Drafts come at three depths, and the web article and social post can be regenerated from the current script at any time.
Assignment desk and publishing
A kanban board carries assignments from pitch to published, with story status and desk stage moving together. An SEO editor and per-platform previews publish to CMS and social targets: WordPress, Arc XP, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and X.
Built for desks that publish everywhere
Broadcast newsrooms
Producers, reporters, and editors who put a daily show on air share one workspace: the feed, the scripts, the rundown clock, and the assignment desk all point at the same stories.
Converged desks
Desks that produce TV, web, and social from one team write the story once, angle it three ways, and publish each angle to its destination without leaving the workspace.
