Using this App

This app is more than just a source of news that you open and read; there are plenty of customization tools that make this app even more useful. If you are using the app to search for jobs you are able to make use of the filter feature.

These same filters can also be applied to the press releases so that you can find the releases that pertain to your particular search. If you are working on a particular story angle then you don’t need all the rest of the releases, so why not save yourself a bunch of time?

All stories can be shared by Twitter and email. You can also mark content (releases and jobs) as favorites so you can quickly and easily locate them again. The Blog is a really interesting section, just packed full of information on all things Journalism-related. The user interface is rather simple but it’s also clean and uncluttered so it gets the job done.
