Why Superdesk?

Superdesk is a state-of-the-art digital newsroom system. It combines headless CMS functionality with powerful workflow features for an end-to-end news creation, production, curation and distribution platform. Built alongside journalists in the newsroom, it has a modular, API-centric design that enables news organisations to add and adapt the functionality most relevant to their business. Superdesk is open-source, web-based, and integrates easily with legacy systems as well as third-party applications.

Whether you run a global media empire, publish a custom newsletter or something in between, Superdesk is for you. While Superdesk was designed with the specific needs of news agencies in mind, it is not only for large-scale newsrooms. If your newsletter turns into a multi-channel subscription news service, Superdesk will scale with your enterprise: in all scenarios, your writers and editors will use the same intuitive tools and interfaces for creating, editing and distributing content ranging from text articles to multimedia packages.
