Using Topic Lists, you can create your show prep list right inside of TopicPulse. Simply click Topic Lists in the left-hand menu to get started. |
Prepare for your show by dragging and dropping stories and IdeaStarters™ into the hourly segments of your Topic List. |
Once you’ve added a story and/or IdeaStarter to a Topic List, you can:
- Click the title of the story and/or IdeaStarter to view the Story Intelligence - which gives you the data behind why the story is trending and with whom.
- Create notes by clicking the notepaper icon in the lower right of every story and/or IdeaStarter.
- Remove a story and/or IdeaStarter by clicking the trash can in the lower right of each item.
Need to prep for the next day or the next week? No problem. You can create a show prep list for any day by clicking on the date picker field at the top.
Prepping for the midday show? Simply scroll down to add stories and/or IdeaStarters™ to any hourly slot.
Unless you delete a story and/or IdeaStarter, it will remain on your station's Topic List forever, so you can go back a week, a month, or more and see what was discussed on the show.
Want to share with your entire team? No worries. Topic Lists are viewable to all users on your TopicPulse account.
Topic Lists can also be printed or emailed by clicking on the sharing options at the top.
And there you have it - show prep redefined!
