We created Camayak to fulfill the needs we discovered when launching our own online publication. We couldn't find the tools we needed to manage a large group of remote journalists and writers, and from that came Camayak

May 6, 2015 Camayak turns 3!

It all started with a community college in Torrance, California.

“Oh, so you’re not a CMS?” Kate McLaughlin – the adviser to the student media department at El Camino College asked. “I think I get what you’re saying. You’re just workflow, right? That could actually be really helpful”.

October 12, 2013 Introducing Camayak Portfolios

Editorial workflow has become a more popular focus area for publishers looking for opportunities to redefine themselves. At Camayak we started with the question: “what if we could make it easier for newsrooms to coordinate their daily tasks and use their own collaboration data to help them become more sophisticated?”. This week we’re taking a big step towards outlining our vision of how such digitally-conscious newsroom can thrive, by launching Camayak portfolios for all our users.

July 14, 2013 Introducing: In-line Comments

One of the features that we’ve been really looking forward to adding to Camayak is a better way to give feedback on specific parts of assignments. After working closely with a number of editors and contributors, we’re excited to announce the release of our very own in-line comments.

April 6, 2013 Launched 2 more major features

This week we’re excited to announce two new features that will dramatically improve how teams communicate within Camayak.

Dashboard activity feed

Each staff member will now be able to see a constantly updated feed of all the important activity happening in the desks they belong to. This will include: comments on assignments, new pitches, photos that are being uploaded to assignments, first-draft submissions, approved assignments and more.

Assignment activity feed

You’ll now be able to review the entire history of all the important activity that’s occurred on and around an assignment, including: editor participation, photo uploads, new connected assignments and more.

August 22, 2012 Launched 3 new major features

As the new school year approaches, many of our clients have been extremely helpful in advising which new features they’d like to see in Camayak, to help them do their jobs more effectively, throughout their busy production weeks. Here are three things we introduced today, as a result of that feedback.
