Using the editorial system correctly Disseminate my information in a targeted and effective way

With the use of the editorial system it is possible to manage own news and events comfortably and to make them available to other areas effectively.

Advantages

  • News can be planned in advance: You choose the time when news goes online and also when it goes offline again.
  • Distribution of news via a category/target group system: Once you have created your news, categories can be used to distribute the news to further output locations, e.g. for students, prospective students or on the research page.
  • Your news will be more visible on the website as well as on the web.
  • Automatic contact data generation

Technical requirements

You can get access to the editorial system via the MMZ. There you will also find tutorials, training dates and further technical support.

Sense and purpose of the categories

You can also use approvals to request that your message be published on subpages of the BTU website.

This works best if you really only choose audiences and categories that match your message. Clicking as much as possible to increase reach degrades the experience of website visitors*, as they have to scroll through a lot of information that is not relevant to them. Please also see the category explanation below:

What what category means

Target groups

The target group categories are there to mark relevant topics for the target group. It is not useful to mark as many target groups as possible , so check carefully whether your message/event is really relevant/helpful/necessary information for the respective target group. If you end up with more than three target groups, it is probably better to select only "broad public" and "central message/event".

Organization

The selection of the organization determines whether the article will be published on the pages of the corresponding organizational unit. Please keep in mind that visitors to these pages expect news and events with a concrete reference to the respective faculty/institution. Topics that concern all faculties, for example, but are assigned to research, should be released accordingly for research only.
