IT Professionals,
IU is in the process of replacing the current single tenant custom-built newsroom with LiveWhale Storyteller, a university-wide multitenant news desk system with ongoing vendor support and upgrades.
If your website currently displays a news feed originating from news.iu.edu, you will need to update it.
Starting September 29, IU news editors will enter news releases into both the existing and new newsroom systems. Web managers are encouraged to test the new feeds on their test sites and update feeds on production sites shortly after the October 13 launch.
The September release of IU Web framework added support for LiveWhale Storyteller feeds. To update a Framework site, web managers will need to paste the new news feed URL into the relevant feed block.
Refer to the instructions for generating news feed URLs.
Non-IU Framework sites can utilize LiveWhale widgets to display news content.
IU Today is already live within LiveWhale Storyteller platform and content can already be enabled via feeds or widgets on live sites.
If you need help generating a news feed for your site, need a news feed widget created for a non-IU Framework site, or encountered a problem during testing please email studioshelp@iu.edu.
