Publishing software for medical and oncology publishers
Specialty medical publishing has a shape that general-purpose website software was never designed for. The reading audience is professional, the sources are numerous and technical, distribution is as much email and alerting as it is web traffic, and the revenue often comes from memberships, events, sponsorship, and education rather than from pageviews alone. News Apparatus is a publishing workspace built around that shape.
The workflow it is built for
It starts with intake. Feeds, journals, releases, and other sources are monitored continuously, and incoming items are triaged so your editors see what is worth their time instead of a raw firehose.
From there, drafting is assisted rather than automated. The workspace can prepare a draft, a summary, suggested tags, and metadata; an editor reads it, corrects it, and decides whether it runs. Editorial judgment stays with your team, and that is deliberate — in clinical subject matter it is the only defensible arrangement.
Publication then fans out from one place: the web article, the newsletter, a web push alert, video where you use it, and syndication where you have partners.
- Source monitoring and triage into a single editorial queue.
- Editor-approved AI drafting, summaries, tagging, and metadata.
- Newsletters and web push driven by what you actually published.
- Video and multimedia alongside written coverage.
- Reader accounts, memberships, and gated content on one profile.
- Direct advertising, sponsorship, and house promotions.
- Events and webinars, with registration in the same workspace.
Audience relationships, not just traffic
Professional readers come back for a reason: alerting they trust and coverage that respects their time. The workspace treats the reader as a known profile — what they read, what they saved, what they registered for — so your newsletter, your alerts, and your gated content all speak to the same person rather than to three disconnected lists.
Commerce and education are different things
This distinction matters enough to state plainly. Selling memberships, courses, and event registrations is commerce, and that is available on Growth. Delivering accredited continuing medical education — with the tracking, evaluation, and certificate machinery that requires — is a separate capability, and it is available on Scale.
Accreditation itself always belongs to an accredited provider, not to software. The platform gives you the delivery, assessment, and record-keeping tooling; the accreditation relationship stays yours.
Multiple brands, one operation
Publishers who run more than one property can operate each as its own workspace, on its own domain, with its own branding, editorial team, audience, and advertising — while the people who work across them use one account. Content and audience data stay isolated between properties by design.
Common questions
- Do we publish on our own domain and branding?
- Yes. Each publication runs on its own domain with its own logo, colors, and typography. There is no platform branding in front of your readers.
- Is our content isolated from other publishers on the platform?
- Yes. Each workspace is isolated. Content, audience data, and settings are scoped to your workspace and are not shared with other publishers.
- Does the AI publish without an editor?
- No. AI drafts, summarizes, and tags. A human editor reviews and approves before publication.
- Can we sell courses and memberships without offering CME?
- Yes. Memberships, courses, and event sales are commerce and are available on Growth. Accredited continuing medical education is a separate capability on Scale.
- Can we run events and webinars from the same system?
- Yes. Live and in-person events, registration, and follow-up are part of the workspace rather than a separate tool.
