Basic information
To create new text-based content in Pangea CMS, go to New > Content in the top menu and choose your preferred option.
This article explains the purpose of the different text-based content types and how to use them effectively.
Article
Article is a highly flexible content type. A published Article might provide information on almost any topic.
For detailed information about creating Articles and other text-based content pages, see the following article:
Backgrounder
Backgrounder is intended for use only as embedded content. For example, you might embed a Backgrounder into an Article. A Backgrounder provides background information on a topic relevant to the page where it is embedded.
For detailed information about creating Backgrounders, see the following article:
Blog
Blog is intended for sharing short, blog-style content. For example, your service might publish regular Blogs to provide updates on a special project or investigation. Each Blog is a separate page with its own URL.
A published Blog page looks exactly the same as a published Article. In CMS, the settings for creating these content pages are identical. We provide the Blog content type so services can internally distinguish this content (if desired).
For detailed information about creating Blogs and other text-based content pages, see the following article:
FactCheck
FactCheck lets you present an objective analysis of a statement that has been widely circulated and presented as fact.
FactCheck has a unique look and feel on the public site and special settings in CMS. For detailed information, see the following article:
Feature
Feature is intended for sharing evergreen content. This means content that is not time-sensitive and will remain perpetually relevant for your audience.
A published Feature looks exactly the same as a published Article. In CMS, the settings for creating these content pages are identical. We provide the Feature content type so services can internally distinguish this content (if desired).
For detailed information about creating Features and other text-based content pages, see the following article:
Feature story
Feature story is a special content type that is intended for visual storytelling.
Feature story has a unique look and feel on the public site and special settings in CMS. For detailed information, see the following article:
Live blog
Live blog lets you cover developing live events in real-time by publishing a series of posts on a live feed.
Live blog has a unique look and feel on the public site and special settings in CMS. For detailed information, see the following article:
News
News is intended for sharing news content. This means time-sensitive stories that are typically promoted for a short time and then replaced by newer content.
The News content type is available so services can internally distinguish this content (if desired).
To ensure full compatibility with the Latest news Category layout, the following limitations apply when you create a News page:
- You cannot add Related content on News pages.
- You cannot display an Introduction on News pages.
Otherwise, the options for creating a News page are the same as for creating an Article. For detailed information, see the following article:
Transcript
Transcript is intended for sharing a written record of audio or video content.
A published Transcript looks exactly the same as a published Article. In CMS, the settings for creating these content pages are identical.
CMS lets you link a published Transcript to a Video / Audio clip page. When a Video / Audio clip is linked to a Transcript, the Read Transcript button is visible under the player.
To link a Transcript to a Video / Audio clip page, perform either action below:
- In CMS, open the edit screen for the Video / Audio clip. Add the Transcript in the Related content.
- In CMS, open the edit screen for the Transcript. Add the Video / Audio clip in the Related content.
