Publisher

They are brought to life with video, audio, polls, etc. Celsius Publisher is an easy-to-learn, adaptable system that helps you smoothly transition to the web. It’s a complete solution for story creation, content management and distribution that requires nothing more than a web browser. Celsius Publisher redefines the concept of a story. In Celsius Publisher, a story is a container for one or more elements such as text, audio, video and polls. Publisher also provides greater access for readers; for instance, the system allows readers to participate in the story creation process to add elements to an existing story, such as uploading photos and videos associated with a particular piece.

Pipeline

Celsius Pipeline is a Platform that shares, and potentially monetizes, news stories, photos, audio, video and other content from participating news organizations, content creators, blogs and other content-sharing networks.
