Core Publisher

Taking advantage of NPR Music and NPR Music Station events is now easy to do in Core Publisher. Music Live Events is built as a content type within Core Publisher. Your header and footer will display, but the rest of the screen is taken up by the event video and archived content. You can publish an individual event or an entire channel. When your users click on archived content they will stay on your site.

Set up your Core Publisher site to include automatically populate live events! 

Here's how you can search and browse NPR content in the API.

As part of the Core Publisher on-boarding process, stations can import archived content into their new Core Publisher site. Because of the station effort required to prepare content for import, DS recommends that stations run a content analysis to determine how actively end users are accessing their archive.

During the first Core Publisher sprint demo of 2013, many people showed interest in sharing their content with other stations through Core Pub's new "Browse Station Content Tool." 

After thinking about the variety of ways we could distribute this list, we have decided to allow you to manage the list using our Q&A Café.

We will not be holding our bi-weekly sprint review webinar this afternoon. All fixes and features will be going live via hotfixes over the next few days. In addition, some of the work covered in this sprint does not require a code change.

We're adding new functionality to Core Publisher so your shares to Twitter appear in the new Cards format. Cards allows Twitter to display your content in a rich media environment - with a photo, for instance. It's a more compelling experience and we're excited to make the stories you publish in CP work with cards.

We are pleased to announce the NPR Digital Services Q&A Cafe that will foster collaboration between stations to get the most out of Core Publisher and the NPR Story API by tapping into a community of users. In addition to asking for help from the DS Support Team, the Q&A Cafe will allow users and subject matter experts assisting each other with getting the most out of Core Publisher and the API. Our long-term goal is to facilitate collaboration with and between stations to share best practices, advice, and helpful tips on using a greater range of select DS products and technology platforms.
