00:00 Introduction to Tags
Welcome to this tutorial on how to use tags to structure your newsroom.
In this video, we’ll walk through how tags work and how you can use them to organize your newsroom and article pages.
Tags are one of the platform’s core features. They help you structure your newsroom by categorizing and organizing your article pages.
It’s worth noting that there’s also a separate tagging system for media assets—like images, videos, and documents—in the media library. However, in this tutorial, we’re focusing specifically on using tags to organize article pages.
Let’s take a closer look at where tags can be used to structure your content.
00:37 Tags on the Newsroom Homepage
Tags are applied in various modules on your newsroom homepage, article pages, and custom pages.
Some examples of newsroom modules that use tags include:
- Carousel or Featured Article modules, where you can highlight specific articles.
- Search modules, which help users quickly find relevant content.
- Tag clouds, which display popular or relevant tags for easier navigation.
- Headlines modules, which allow you to showcase different types of content. You can even add multiple headlines modules to highlight a variety of topics.

The same modules can also be used on article pages and custom pages.
For example:
- At the bottom of an article page, you might add a headlines module to feature related content.
- On a custom page, like an Investor Relations page, you could place a Featured Article module at the top and use a headlines module to highlight important updates.
Modules like these are also important when setting up archive pages.

There is a general archive page that includes all your articles.
However, you can also create tag-specific archive pages, where only articles with certain tags will appear.
For example, you could create an archive page specifically for articles tagged with News or Investor Relations. This way, the archive page displays only the articles associated with those tags.
Conclusion
To recap, tags are a powerful tool to organize and structure your newsroom.
By using tags across different modules and archive pages, you make it much easier for your audience to find the content they are looking for.
