The Challenge of Modernizing Newsroom Operations

In today’s digital-first world, nonprofit and student-run media organizations face growing pressure to modernize their operations. Balancing data security, remote accessibility, and budget constraints can be particularly challenging—especially for organizations with high staff turnover and limited technical resources. Many rely on traditional storage setups, such as Google Drive and local servers, which often fall short in providing the security and scalability required for a modern newsroom.

A Universal Struggle: The Search for a Secure, Scalable Solution

For many journalism organizations, managing terabytes of valuable content across multiple devices—often in an all-Mac environment—has become a logistical challenge. The need for features like mobile app access, fine-grained permission control, and efficient user onboarding has never been greater.
