From publishing to social media, to editing video, to working in the CMS, there are so many different dashboards, logins and systems to manage. We’ll highlight tools that some small- to mid-size newsrooms have used to automate some of these processes. This includes hacks for calendar entries, social media workflows, and tools like Zapier, Slack and IFTTT to connect more products and dashboards.
