Storyboards are unique collaborative workspaces where you can easily find and share information, media and other elements of the day’s big stories. Producers and reporters simply drag and drop the information they need from a Storyboard into a story. Storyboards create an instant community of journalists working on the same story, enabling quick communication and ensuring everyone has access to new developments as they happen.
