ANNA BASTIAENEN, DEPUTY EDITOR, LUSSO
Right from the outset Camayak became an invaluable tool for our
magazine. It's changed my life as an Editor.
TRACK ASSIGNMENT FEEDBACK
PROBLEM: FRAGMENTED COMMUNICATION ACROSS EMAIL, TASK MANAGERS AND
SHARED FILES SLOWS EDITORS DOWN.
KEEP TRACK OF ALL YOUR DISCUSSIONS IN ONE PLACE
Save conversations alongside your content to speed-up feedback cycles
and make it easy to reference editorial decisions.
TESSA NATH, EDITOR
Camayak has made my staff more efficient and more accountable, not to
mention better communicators.
GET A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF YOUR ENTIRE NEWSROOM
Creating deadlines helps editors plan the days and weeks ahead and
gives their colleagues a clear view of their upcoming
responsibilities.

PAULA ALVARADO, BA INSPIRATION
One of the most challenging parts of being a journalist or an editor
these days is trying to keep afloat in the huge volume of content that
is created and published to the web everyday. I went from being a
freelancer for Discovery Latin America to managing a team of writers
who provide five to six times the amount of articles I did for them,
and in that transition I noticed a huge vacuum of software that lived
somewhere between a CMS and a project manager. Camayak is exactly what
I and a new generation of virtual newsrooms need.
EMPOWER YOUR COMMUNITY
PROBLEM: COLLABORATING WITH ONE-TIME CONTRIBUTORS CAN BE DIFFICULT TO
SCALE AND CONVERT INTO LONG-TERM BENEFITS.
LET ANYONE PITCH AN IDEA
Writers, stakeholders, sponsors and anyone else with access to your
newsroom can pitch an idea for editors to consider. External
contributors can also send their pitches via email without requiring
access to your newsroom.

Editors can invite entire mailing lists to work with specific groups
within their community.

ERIN HIRO, JOURNALISM PROFESSOR
Camayak has been instrumental in increasing student retention.
RYAN THORNBURG, ONLINE J-PROF AT UNC J-SCHOOL, ADVISER TO THE DUKE
CHRONICLE
Like many newspapers, the student newspaper at Duke University is
trying to figure out how to most efficiently reach its audience in
both print and online. That kind of transition always means
restructuring resources - from the times of day we work, to the
numbers of various types of stories we do, to the entire editing
workflow. Camayak has allowed us to start making those changes, but
also understand the current workflow and structure with actual data as
opposed to just "how it feels." Using Camayak, we've been able to look
at who our most prolific writers and editors are, and how long various
tasks tend to take. From there, we were able to see which tasks in the
editing workflow were sitting at chokepoints. That allowed us to begin
thinking about re-allocating the staff duties as well as altering the
times of day we do certain work. I'm also beginning to look at which
stages of our story workflow add the most value - both qualitatively
measured in terms of the types of edits made, but also quantitatively
in terms of changes made, errors caught and duration.
AMBER ANTONOPOULOS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, SANTA MONICA COLLEGE
As managing editor last year before we used Camayak, I had to rely on
section editor updates in order to be aware of story progress. It has
been indispensable for me this year as editor-in-chief to be able to
easily see for myself at any given moment where assignments are in the
workflow, and to be able to approve them and publish them to the
website in one easy step. I can check if writers made deadline, if
editors have edited stories, and I can access all assignments and read
all the various revisions for myself without having to rely on email
threads.
INCREASE ACCOUNTABILITY
PROBLEM: SHARING DOCUMENTS CAN GET COMPLICATED WHEN YOU'RE NOT SURE
WHO SHOULD BE LOOKING AT WHAT.
TRACK ASSIGNMENT CHANGES
We've made tracking changes user-friendly so staff can quickly see
what's changed from one revision to the next.

CREATE AN EDITORIAL HIERARCHY
Once submitted, assignments are always accessible by editors. The more
senior you are, the more control you have over your content and
staffing.
ERIKA ANTOINE, COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER
Camayak saves me time by centralising almost all our tasks and all our
stakeholders.
GIVE STAFF THEIR OWN PORTFOLIOS
Staff can activate their own portfolios which can show all the work
they've helped to produce, whether they've written, edited or
photographed for it.

JASON MANNING, DIRECTOR OF STUDENT MEDIA, ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY
We were looking for a system that would help us create, manage, and
edit content from multiple locations and then publish that content on
multiple platforms. We needed a tool that would help us create a truly
virtual newsroom geared toward primarily digital output - but that
could also be used for our ongoing print needs. Since our students are
spread across four campuses and routinely report on breaking news and
live events in the Phoenix metro area, we needed the ability to have
multiple users collaborate simultaneously from different locations.
Camayak has allowed us to do all of this -- and do it very effectively
and efficiently. Our digital content output doubled over the last year
and Camayak has been a huge part of that ramp up.
SIRAJ DATOO, BIG DATA COLUMNIST FOR THE GUARDIAN, STUDENT JOURNALS
CO-FOUNDER
The Student Journals' managing editor is in London, the web editor is
in Madrid and the lifestyle editor is based at Warwick. Then we have
writers, other editors and members of the team dotted around the UK
and the globe. Camayak has really helped us to streamline our
editorial process: previously we accepted articles and manually
created a calendar of the most time-sensitive articles before giving
them to sub-editors. Camayak means that we've reduced the number of
emails we send dramatically - saving us a lot of time - and ensuring a
smoother process, not only for our editorial team but also for our
writers. We've found it easier to keep everything under control,
especially as we've grown, and the Camayak team have always been very
helpful when we've had any questions or feedback.
REDUCE TRAINING OVERHEAD
PROBLEM: TRAINING LARGE NUMBERS OF NEW STAFF ON NEWSROOM PRACTICES CAN
TAKE UP FAR TOO MUCH OF AN EDITOR'S TIME.
SEE PROGRESS AT A GLANCE
Allowing staff to see who's working on every assignment at any given
moment removes the need for folder-system training of new staff.

CONSOLIDATE YOUR NEWSROOM

TONY MALDONADO, MANAGING EDITOR
Our new staff have found the software incredibly easy to use.
KATE MCLAUGHLIN, STUDENT MEDIA ADVISOR, EL CAMINO COLLEGE
Before Camayak, we might have been able to pull five or six story
ideas out of a staff of 20 students. When I just checked, there were
49 story pitches stacked up waiting for editors to accept or reject.
Camayak has made the job much, much easier. We also love having an
alumni desk. Keeping a database of all staffers lets advisers stay in
touch with students, track their professional success, recruit guest
speakers and plan reunions. It also lets student journalists reach out
to former staffers to solicit.
