Download - SPECIFICATION CREATING A DEDICATED NEWS SECTION ON THE RSSB WEBSITE MATT CLEMENTS COMMUNICATIONS
BACKGROUND
The old website didn't lend itself to carrying evolving, dynamic content such as news. However, the new site does, and how we arrange the news (and other dynamic content) on the new site needs to be thought about.
At the moment, news is only ever thought about in terms of bundles of stories, usually news publications delivered at a certain frequency. The modern-day web and our new website are built to deliver news story-by-story in real time, ideally at a frequency selected by the user, rather than the publisher.
• We need a way of publishing stories individually in real time
• We need to review how our story 'bundles' (news publications) work
• In the longer term, we need to think about how we can put the user in control of how they access news and how frequently

• We need a way of publishing stories individually in real time
• We need to review how our story 'bundles' (news publications) work
• In the longer term, we need to think about how we can put the user in control of how they access news and how frequently
At the moment, we should look at this
We can look at this as a second part to the work
I think we need to know more about our audiences and stakeholders before fully exploring this bit
BACKGROUND
THE OPPORTUNITY
• More consistency and transparency about RSSB on our website
• More ‘real time’ awareness of our activities
• Bigger boost to generating awareness to encourage people to talk to us, buy into us or buy from us
THE BENEFITS
More immediate coverage of our activity on our own website
We become better understood through more accessible, bite-size chunks of information about what we’re doing and why
Better impact for key messages
THINGS WE WILL NEED
SMARTER WAYS OF WORKING
• More open eyes and ears to news opportunities• Clear points of contact in the team for people to submit news opportunities• Coach project managers to plan in news opportunities as far as possible, try to keep
‘spontaneous’ news to situations where this is unavoidable (eg news is prompted by something immediate)
• Quick sign off of news items – probably with editorial authority resting with the Communications team
• In time, a good editorial calendar would help us manage news• Possible new approach to some news publications – focussing on creating news
articles in real time rather than specifically for a published edition of a publication (like Information Bulletin)
• Probably best if one person is in charge of monitoring the news page, but it would not be that person’s sole responsibility to capture and translate the opportunities into news content
THINGS WE NEED
We need to use emerging opportunities as planned communications activities as fodder for news items.
Depending on the nature of each opportunity or planned activity, we can reuse and rework news items in different channels.
OBJECTIVE
We want to have the ability to post individual news items in a timely way on the website, so we need to create:
• A dedicated page which hosts links to the live news items
• A template for news item pages
• A ‘place’ within the sitemap for news items to appear
• An interface for the comms team to be able to create, edit and delete news items, and to be able to control and schedule their order and timing on the main news page
• Some rules around the way the news items work including things like character limits, image specs etc
• A button or link from the front page that takes people straight to the news page
• Accommodation for ‘news publications’
WHAT THIS SPEC DOCUMENT COVERS
• A basic spec and a rough design for the news page (the page which includes all the news items on it)
• A basic spec and a rough design for the news archive page (the page which will include all past items of news on it)
• A basic spec and a rough design for a news item page (a page which houses an article linking from the main news page)
• A spec and a rough design for the ‘backstage area’ – ie Sharepoint interface – for the news area
• Proposals for other related requirements – eg the look and position of the ‘button’ on the home page
NEWS PAGE – BASIC SPECIFICATION 1
It will replace the contents of this page: http://www.rssb.co.uk/about-rssb/rssb-and-the-rail-industry/industry-news
It will be called ‘News’ so the URL / breadcrumb will need to change
It will accommodate five news items at any one time (or a certain maximum number depending on what the design and page space allows)
Each news item will have a photo, a title, the published date, and some summary text.
Each news item will link to either a dedicated news article page, or another piece of content on the RSSB website or the FutureRailway website
It will also accommodate links to news publications on the right hand side
It will include the Twitter feed running down the right hand side

This is the same design but we’ve zoomed out a bit
Links to news publications appear here (only need space for 2 or 3)
Twitter feed here (same as on home page)
Link to news archive page at the bottom
NEWS ARCHIVE PAGE – BASIC SPECIFICATION 1
It will contain a list of news items which have been ‘knocked off’ the main news page but haven’t yet expired (need to be advised on a maximum number to show in the list)
It will be called ‘News Archive’
Just like the main news page, each news item will link to either a dedicated news article page, or another piece of content on the RSSB website or the FutureRailway website
Unlike the main news page, each item will only be the title and date
It doesn’t need to include the Twitter feed running down the right hand side but it could do for consistency with main news page

A much simpler list – each one hyperlinks to the news item
If a news item EXPIRES, then it disappears from the list
If a news item is created on the main page then the oldest one is bumped off that and appears on this list at the top
Need advice on setting a maximum number to appear in the list – eg 30 ?
NEWS ITEM PAGE – BASIC SPECIFICATION 1
It will be a bit like a hot topic page (similar template)
Ideally the URL ‘crumb’ will follow the main news URL – the exact wording of the URL we need to take advice on – eg /item21042014 ??
How a news item page will be populated will be as a result of how people complete the form within the Sharepoint environment (see later)

• To be able to see in a list all the news items created and to be able to sort them by fields of choice
• To be able to use the list to ‘tell’ the website which ones should appear on the LIVE NEWS PAGE and in what order, and also which ones should not appear
• To be able to click on any NEWS ITEM to edit its features and re-save them
• To be able to create a new NEWS ITEM• To be able to publish a NEWS ITEM and possibly schedule (program a
delay in the publishing of) a NEWS ITEM• To be able to delete a NEWS ITEM (but for it to go somewhere were it
can be rescued if necessary, if only for a short period eg recycle bin)• To be able to export the list data of NEWS ITEMS into Excel/other tools
(like you can with most Sharepoint lists I think?)• To be able to select NEWS ITEMS themselves (more than one) and

I’ll be honest – I can’t actually think of a reason why each news item NEEDS a reference number, but it feels right, so I suggest that when someone creates a NEWS ITEM, it gets a unique reference number and that this number appears in the table.

The date which has been set for the story to expire (ie when it will disappear completely).
In the unlikely event that the story appears on the main news page – it will disappear, leaving a gap – but this unlikely as there will be always be enough stories etc
If it appears on the News Archive page – it should just disappear from the list.

Ideally I will be able to ‘sort’ the table by whichever column I like in an A-z, Z-A, chronological or whatever order I like, and even just select certain data – eg just see a list of the items where Jyoti Vara is the owner – a bit like a Sharepoint list

Need to define character restrictions on the following fields depending on the design

offer us different limits but we need
to make sure we can fit authors with long

Need to define image specs for these fields Need to decide whether images can be re-sized and
fiddled with within this interface or whether we have to ensure they’re
cropped and the right size and shape before they’re
uploadedAnd remember, the headline image media needs to
appear as a smaller shape on the main news page but larger when someone clicks on the news item – see next
slide for a reminder...
The main headline photo uploaded needs to appear in a smaller way on the main news page (on the left)
than it does when someone actually clicks on the news item (on the right)

Need some way of being able to compile bespoke lists of news items and saving them. So you could search for some items, the results come up, and then you select them to save them into a new personal list.
CREATE NEWS ITEM
EDIT DELETE PREVIEW EXPORT SEARCH
The Export function needs to allow people to select items using the list of all news items (backstage) or from a personal list created compiled from search results and other selections.
We need to be able to export the data as ‘plain text’ into Excel and possibly into other templates – there may be a role for XML here?
Latest News more here >>>
The link to Industry News should change to ‘News’ but still be accessed via the mega menu here
With news appearing as live items on the site, the need to create specific news publications is reduced.
However, some audiences may still need to have bespoke packages of news items sent to them, or may prefer to be able to download bespoke packages of news in another form, like a pdf.
This is likely to be the case with Information Bulletin – especially in the short term.
The approach proposed here is that historic news items over a defined period of time (eg 2 months) would be selected and reviewed for relevance and accuracy and then downloaded from the system into an email marketing campaign and a pdf.
This would mean the email received would resemble a collection of news items with click-throughs to the individual items on the website.
News publications in pdf form would either need to have some sort of workflow linked to suitable software (if appropriate) or designed manually if it was deemed more efficient that way.
