79.4.6.4 Rundown Creation Process

In Etere Nunzio, Journalists, Editors and Producers can work on multiple stories together, from the creation of the story content to the on-air process, with multiple tools that allow a complete newsroom workflow.
Once the Rundown has been created, is it possible to manipulate the Rundown in many ways:

• Journalist can works on different stories at the same time, adding text, content, notes/comments, so on and so forth.
• Video Editors can edit  videos and manage the videos within Nunzio Stories and Etere MAM.
• Editors can decide the order of certain stories within the Rundown and move Rundown according to their desired needs.
• Producers can discard stories, decide the stories order in a given Rundown, float stories on the fly even during the On-Air process of the Rundown.

All above tasks are managed and integrated within Etere Nunzio by relying on roles, rights and permissions, any scenario is possible and highly customizable.
