A publishing suite for community newspapers

Your finished page, online the same day.

Pressline moves your stories between print and web both ways, and drafts news and sports from the sources you already have — meeting packets, game stats, releases. A person reviews everything before it goes live.

The suite

One workflow for the whole paper.

Pressline is a set of tools that share one job: get your reporting from where it’s made to where your readers are — cleanly, and with a person signing off. Use the parts you need.

Print → web

Your finished InDesign page becomes posts on your website.

Web → print In development

Pull published stories straight back onto your InDesign pages.

News drafting

Meeting packets, minutes, and recordings become source-checked drafts.

Sports stories

A stats spreadsheet or a rough report becomes a clean, structured write-up.

Editing

An editorial pass tightens the copy and flags what to check.

Print to web

Everything on the page, handled.

pages
Pages into posts

Your laid-out InDesign pages become individual, web-formatted articles — headline, body, and structure intact.

photos
Photos in the right place

Each photo is matched to the story it actually belongs with, and its caption comes along for the ride.

parts
Headlines & bylines

The parts of every story are identified and sorted — headlines, bylines, and the items that run in every issue.

obituaries
Obituaries, formatted

Obituaries are pulled from the page, formatted consistently, and published cleanly — a routine that’s easy to get wrong by hand.

publish
Straight to WordPress

Finished posts publish directly to your WordPress site — no exporting, reformatting, or re-keying.

review
Flagged, not guessed

When something is unclear, Pressline flags it for a person to decide — it never quietly guesses.

Web to printIn development

And the other direction, too.

Your website doesn’t have to be the last step. We’re building a bridge so that when staff lay out the print edition, they’ll pull stories straight from WordPress onto the InDesign page — no copying, reformatting, or re-keying what’s already published. The story lives in one place; print and web both draw from it.

AI in the newsroom

More coverage, less blank page.

Pressline can draft from the material you already have, then hand it to your editors to do what they do best — decide what’s right. Nothing an AI writes is published unread.

news
News stories, drafted

Hand Pressline a meeting’s agenda, minutes, recording or transcript — or a release or public post — and it returns a complete story: the dollar figures, the vote, the reasons, and the items that didn’t pass. It won’t call a discussion a decision, and it flags anything uncertain for your editor.

sports
Sports, two ways

Hand it a stats spreadsheet and it writes the whole story — summary, score by period, and stat lines built out. Or hand it a reporter’s rough copy and it sharpens the writing while keeping their voice and play-by-play intact. Photo captions either way.

editor
An editor’s second read

An editorial pass tightens clarity, grammar, and flow and holds the line on your house style — without rewriting the substance or inventing a thing. It marks what a person should double-check before it runs.

Every draft is a starting point, not a final word. Your newsroom keeps the byline, the judgment, and the last click.

How it works

Three steps to published.

01
Bring the material

Give Pressline your laid-out page — or the notes, stats, and documents behind a story you want drafted.

02
It does the heavy lifting

It structures pages or drafts stories, then runs a review that flags anything uncertain — instead of guessing.

03
Approve & publish

You give it a quick look — every photo, every draft — and publish to your site.

Why Pressline

Built for community papers. Checked by people.

When anyone can generate copy in seconds, the paper that still verifies what it prints — every fact, every face — is the one readers trust. That’s the part Pressline is built to protect.

A person always has the final say

Nothing publishes until you’ve reviewed it — every photo, and every word an AI drafts. A face is never mislabeled, and a story is never posted unread.

Made for how small papers actually work

It reads the real structure of your pages — not a generic one-size import that loses half the layout.

Less busywork, same editorial control

Pressline removes the mechanical steps. The judgment stays with your newsroom, where it belongs.

Scales across your titles

Add more papers without redoing the setup each week — the same flow handles them all.

Who it’s for

For the people who put the paper out.

Pressline is for the owners, editors, and production staff of community newspapers — the people who put a print edition out every week, want it online cleanly and quickly, and want to cover more without rebuilding every issue by hand.
