When you're creating news content only two things really matter - the story and your audience. But a lot of today’s digital news technology adds complexity to this simple exchange.
Neon strips away this complexity, restoring speed and simplicity to the authoring process - and leaving you to focus on creating compelling content.
While you focus on the content, all the rest - from AI-optimized headlines and summaries to proofreading and multichannel formatting and scheduling - is handled by powerful but invisible background processes.
At publication time, a single click sends your content out perfectly formatted for any destination, from web page to mobile, social or video.
