How to Build a Newsroom Inside Your Company | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Companies everywhere are building corporate news operations. We talked to some of the best to find out how they did it.


... If you’re the CEO or CMO of a mid-sized or large brand, you may have started thinking about building an in-house news operation of your own. To help you get there, we’ve created an ebook, The CMO’s Guide to Brand Journalism.


The book will help you structure a team and figure out what obstacles you should expect to encounter and how to get over them. We also explain the structure of a newsroom, and how to map that structure to a corporate environment.

NewsCred, a six-year-old New York-based content marketing company known for licensing articles from The Economist and the New York Times to brands, is creating its own newsroom with 500 journalists.


The writers, photographers, videographers and digital artists on contract with NewsCred will be at the disposal of brands seeking original content. The company is being selective about whom it hires. The pay is also decent: a minimum of $500 per blog post and $1,000 per article. The journalists get 100% of the fees for such articles. A NewsCred rep says the content is a value-add; the company's real business is in licensing its software platform, which a brand can use to upgrade their marketing outreach....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

Fascinating trend but many questions will arise including ethics, costs, copyright, transparency, credibility, trust, editorial oversight, fact checking, and many of the other issues that have plagued many of the old media or launched several of the new digital media.
