Introduction
What Mastheads is, how the newsroom works, and where to start.
Mastheads runs a complete editorial pipeline for your publication. You brief it once - your topics, your voice, where to publish - and it finds the stories worth covering, writes each article under a real named byline, fact-checks it, illustrates it, and delivers it on your schedule.
How an article gets made
Every article moves through the same staged newsroom: discovery finds a story worth covering in your sections, sourcing collects and vets the material behind it, a writer drafts it in your voice, independent quality gates cross-check the claims against the sources, an image is made or picked, and the finished piece is published to your CMS or handed to you as a draft. Any gate can hold an article back for your review - nothing ships silently. The full pass is on How an article happens.
You stay in control
Review is the default. New editions start in review mode, drafts only, so articles arrive for your approval; auto-publish is something you opt into deliberately, with recorded consent. Every article carries an authenticity trace - the sources it used, the checks it passed, the editor of record.
Where to start
- Quick start - create your first edition in a few taps.
- Cover a topic - hand the newsroom a topic to go cover.
- API reference - pull your articles into anything you run.
