10 iNEWS Projects
The iNEWS Project feature is a way of categorizing stories by topic so that news teams working
on a particular topic can find everything related to it in a single place, without moving or copying
the original source information from its current location in the database. Facets are sub-topics,
providing additional granularity to projects.
Before users can benefit from the Projects feature, the iNEWS database must be set up to
properly handle projects and their facets. For information on how to set up the database, see the
“Projects” chapter in the Avid iNEWS Setup and Configuration Guide. This chapter covers the
use of projects and facets within an iNEWS system.
This chapter contains the following main sections:
Overview of Projects and Facets
Creating Projects
Creating Facets
Associating Stories with Projects or Facets
