Optimize articles for Google Discover, Google News, and web search. Add NewsArticle and LiveBlogPosting schema markup, Search Console traffic analytics, editorial assignments, and newsroom tools — directly inside WordPress. Works in Gutenberg and Classic Editor. Who is this plugin for? Perfect for: News websites and online newspapers Magazines and digital publishers Editorial teams and multi-author WordPress sites Sites targeting Google Discover and Google News traffic Publishers who outgrew generic SEO plugins but still use Yoast or Rank Math NewsArticle & LiveBlogPosting schema markup Structured data built for publishers — not generic blog schema: NewsArticle JSON-LD — @graph with Organization, WebPage, author Person, geo, about / mentions from entity tags LiveBlogPosting — breaking news mode with live H3 updates and auto-expire CollectionPage from story timelines; optional editor FAQ block (opt-in, off by default) Wikidata entity enrichment on tags (lazy, on assign) Richness presets (Minimal / Balanced / Full) — complements Yoast SEO, Rank Math, AIOSEO, SEOPress Google Discover & Google News optimization Discover Score — pre-publish checklist: hero 1200px+, 16:9, headline quality, topic/tags, OG image, timeliness Trend Radar — Google Trends + Google News RSS in the editor sidebar (localized by country) Breaking news mode — faster IndexNow/Google ping, LiveBlog schema, optional “developing story” badge Pro: real Discover and Google News clicks from Search Console sync (separate from the editorial score) Newsroom OS vs Yoast SEO & Rank Math Yoast SEO / Rank Math excel at meta titles, descriptions, XML sitemaps, and general on-page SEO. Newsroom OS adds the newsroom layer they do not cover: Google Discover readiness scoring in the editor Google News + Discover Search Console analytics per writer (Pro) NewsArticle / LiveBlogPosting publisher schema graph Editorial workflow — tasks, My Inbox, chief dashboard, Chief Insights (Pro) Author performance coaching tied to real traffic (Pro) Smart tags, duplicate-tag guard, archive internal links, GSC traffic-drop alerts (Pro) Use both together — Newsroom OS reads your SEO plugin meta and adds publisher-specific signals. Update 2.7 — Classic command center (stable) + parked React UI Newsroom OS 2.7 ships a premium classic admin redesign: vertical sidebar shell, bento Dashboard (Kanban-first), refreshed Chief Insights and Author Performance, and a cleaner Settings workspace. Classic is the default on all sites. An experimental React admin remains in the codebase for a future opt-in release — it is off by default; the Settings banner shows Coming Soon until the redesign is ready. Desk workflow: AI Content brief from Trend Radar now lives on the Dashboard (chief plans → assigns task → writer sees brief in the editor). The editor Radar tab stays lightweight (live trends/news + copy headline). Update 2.3 — Desk workflow + Chief command upgrades (Pro) Newsroom OS 2.3 adds brief → editorial task, AI desk overview (Author Performance), Kanban drag-and-drop, War room live KPIs (AJAX), CrUX / Core Web Vitals (PageSpeed Insights), GSC device channel toggle, and category-aware AI prompts. No database migration. Configure CrUX under Settings → Instant Indexing (PageSpeed API key). Update 2.2 — AI Assist SEO pipeline (Pro BYOK) Newsroom OS 2.2 upgrades AI Assist (Pro) for newsroom SEO: shared article analysis (keywords, entities, intent), stronger headline, optimize, and trend suggestions, meta description generation with one-click apply to Yoast SEO / Rank Math (or excerpt), smarter tag match, and Discover Score entity signals when analysis is saved on the post. Editor blocks (story timeline, key takeaways, FAQ) use semantic HTML, dedicated CSS (story-cluster.css, newsai-content-blocks.css), and no empty DOM nodes in published markup. Big update 2.1 — Chief Insights, AI Daily Brief, and indexing diagnostics Newsroom OS 2.1 adds Chief Insights (desk-wide KPIs, channel tables, top categories/articles), AI Daily Brief (Morning/Evening), and Print to PDF. Clear Last attempted vs Last successful diagnostics for Google Indexing API and IndexNow. Preview Pro on newsos.io. Big update 2.0 — Google Search Console meets your newsroom Newsroom OS 2.0 connects your editorial desk to real Google traffic. Writers get Focus (article quality) and Discover readiness (distribution checklist) in the editor — separate from Search Console clicks (Discover, Google News, and web search). Chiefs see who publishes well and who earns traffic, in one dashboard. Pro license: newsos.io — one key per site, same plugin you already install. Live Pro demo available on newsos.io. Classic Editor & Gutenberg (Block Editor) Newsroom OS is built for real newsroom setups — including sites that still use Classic Editor, sites on full Gutenberg, and hybrid installs (block editor with the classic Tags metabox). Gutenberg / Block Editor Publication Readiness sidebar (Editorial + Discover twin gauges, Next Best Action) REST-aware duplicate tag guard (snackbar + “Use existing” / “Keep anyway”) Breaking news mode, live H3 update insertion via blocks Trend Radar, Smart Tags, AI Assist (Pro) in the editor sidebar JS strings via wp_set_script_translations (el, en, de, es) Classic Editor Same Publication Readiness panel and scores (TinyMCE / #content hooks — no block editor APIs on classic screens) Classic Tags metabox duplicate guard (AJAX before the tag chip is added) Breaking mode, live updates, and smart tag insert via Classic UI Stability: Gutenberg-only APIs (wp.data.subscribe, getEditedPostContent) run only when block-editor-page is present — prevents Classic Editor blocks.min.js stack overflows on large sites Works with any theme (Astra, GeneratePress, Newspaper, NewsMag, Flavor, etc.) and alongside Yoast SEO, Rank Math, WooCommerce, and SureCart. WordPress 7.0: Tested through WordPress 7.0 (Classic Editor, Gutenberg, and wp-admin dashboard). Requires PHP 7.4+ (PHP 8.1+ recommended). Six pillars (2.0) 1. Discover optimization Publication Readiness — twin scores in the editor: Editorial (Focus) and Discover readiness. They are separate on purpose. Discover Score — Google-aligned checklist: hero 1200px+, 16:9, 300k pixels, alt; clear 55–70 headline (anti-clickbait); topic/tags; optional trend fit; saved OG image when available. Breaking news mode — one toggle: LiveBlogPosting schema, faster IndexNow/Google ping, optional “developing story” badge, auto-expire, live-update workflow (H3 headings). Trend Radar — Google Trends + Google News in the sidebar, localized per country. 2. Google Search Console traffic (Pro) — NEW in 2.0 Service account sync — connect Search Console with webmasters.readonly; separate token from the Indexing API. Discover, Google News, and web search — per-post clicks, impressions, CTR, and average position stored in your database (wp_newsai_gsc_performance). Sync now in settings plus daily cron (04:00 site time) when Pro is active. Author Performance — real clicks per writer, top articles by traffic, coaching tab, 7d / 30d / 90d windows. Posts list — GSC (30d) column for chiefs (edit_others_posts). My Inbox — writers see their own GSC totals when sync is enabled. Clear labeling — Discover Score = editorial readiness; GSC numbers = measured Google clicks (not the same metric). 3. Semantic schema & entities NewsArticle / LiveBlogPosting JSON-LD — @graph with Organization, WebPage, author Person, geo, about / mentions. Entity tags — Wikidata Q-IDs, coordinates, entity types woven into schema; lazy enrichment when tags are used (1.9+). Richness presets — Minimal / Balanced / Full; optional articleBody modes (omit, full, first N words). Works with Yoast SEO & Rank Math — reads your meta; does not replace them. 4. Editorial workflow Tasks & assignments — deadlines, keywords, briefs, reference links. Dashboard — active / overdue / completed, KPIs, SEO health. Roles — chiefs see the full desk; writers see My Inbox only. GSC traffic-drop alerts (Pro) — surfaces articles losing Search Console clicks vs the prior period. 5. AI newsroom (Pro, BYOK) OpenAI, Gemini, or Groq — your API key stays on your site; free tiers supported (Groq / Gemini). Discover-optimized titles (55–70 chars, five angles), targeted optimization hints, trend-aware keywords, AI Tag Match from your site taxonomy. Geo-aware language — answers in the language of your configured region (40+ locales). 6. Knowledge layer Smart Tag Suggester — weighted, confidence-scored tags from your taxonomy; one-click insert; duplicate-tag guard (Pro). Story timelines — archive clusters + internal-link blocks + CollectionPage schema. Archive link finder — semantic internal links from your own back catalog (accent-aware scoring). Author E-E-A-T — profiles, schema Person, performance analytics (Pro). UI in Greek, English, German, and Spanish (per-site language picker).
