Capture news sources
Burli Newsroom handles the wide variety of data sources that are constantly dumped in a newsroom. This includes news, tweets, live audio feeds, email, RSS feeds, audio and video files, FTP servers and more. Reporters in the field can archive remotely and their material - text and audio - appears in the system automatically. All sources - including tweets, audio and fax - appear directly on the screen of any workstation.
Connect
Use network connections to link agencies, affiliates, regional networks, or reporters in the field. Virtual Burli Newsroom technology connects virtually any workstation to any other workstation, whether by city or around the world. Browse other newsroom wires, audio cuts, scripts, faxes, etc. and drag them to your own work.
Or use any web browser for remote access to the newsroom. Read scripts, search for contacts, view faxes from newsrooms, and even make audio cuts from the field. Or archive full news - with text and audio - into the system.
Edit text and audio
Seamlessly integrated, fast and simple-to-use text and audio editors designed specifically for broadcast newsrooms. Often, newsrooms get stuck with audio editors that are too simple or too confusing with advanced features that no journalist will ever use.
Burli Newsroom, on the other hand, offers integrated audio editors of one and more tracks, designed from the ground up for newsrooms. These include power features such as volume envelopes, cross-fades, normalize, and zoom at the sample level. And, being Burli Newsroom, they are intuitive and strongly integrated into the news and copy. Similarly, the text editor is clear, easy to use and full of practical tools that journalists actually use.
Organize your essay
Let the entire news team, whether it's a small group or a multi-office environment, easily share resources. Virtually everything in Burli Newsroom can be opened simultaneously by many users, enabling a truly collaborative news production workflow. Summaries can be gathered by an entire team, which sees changes in real time. An instant messaging utility allows users to chat between any number of workstations.
An internal mail system allows administrators to send memos to one or many of their employees. A contact database organizes the many telephone books in the newsroom. A full assignment manager helps coordinate reporters, plan tasks, and facilitate group projects.
Delivered
Scripts can be read from a prompter or integrated into your site. Burli's radio prompter makes live news easier than ever. Audio cuts appear in a scroll prompter and play on Google itself. Summaries remain editable even during transmission, and editors can make changes to copy order or audio as the broadcast takes place.
Burli Newsroom makes it very simple to share your radio news with your website's radio automation systems and CMS, even Twitter. Journalists can manually publish stories to their online services or have CMS automatically retrieve relevant data from within Burli Newsroom.
