Story_Editor_-_Broadcast

Use this panel to create, modify, approve, schedule, and publish the social media stories. The Story Editor panel opens when you double-click or double-tap a story in the running order or in the My Stories panel.

Broadcast stories contain text, but are not published to a social media account. You can use Broadcast stories in a running order as operator cues or as containers to publish multiple social media stories at one time.

If the running order is based on an NCS rundown, the running order contains Broadcast stories imported from the NCS. You can open an NCS Broadcast story in the Story Editor, but you cannot edit the story. An NCS Broadcast story can be copied to another running order to create a new Broadcast story that you can edit.
