The iNEWS Workstation’s Main Window
Becoming familiar with the layout of the iNEWS Workstation and its main window will help you
navigate through the program more effectively. All of the work you do at an iNEWS Workstation
is performed in the application’s main window. From this window you can navigate through your
system—or another iNEWS system in your community—open queues and stories, edit and print
scripts, prepare broadcasts, send and receive messages or email, and search the database.
