A paywall that holds
When a reader isn’t entitled, the body, the galleries and the search metadata are never sent to their browser. There is nothing hidden on the page to uncover.
ON AIRPUBLISHING & EDITORIAL
Write, schedule and sell articles on the same site as your streams — and when a reader isn’t entitled, the paid body never reaches their browser at all.
- 3 paywall levels
- Locked text never leaves the server
- Scheduled on your own clock
- Comments with a moderation queue
02/ 07WITHOUT IT
- 01
The newsroom runs on a blog tool bolted to the side of the streaming site, with its own login and its own idea of who has paid.
- 02
Its paywall blurs the article on screen while the full text sits in the page, one right-click away from anyone who looks.
- 03
A reader who hits the wall gets a generic subscribe button instead of the plan that unlocks the story — and the match you wrote about is on another site.
03/ 07HOW IT WORKS
An article is written, scheduled, sold and connected to your video from one form.
- Step 01
Write in the editor
A visual editor with 16 always-available controls that match the typography your reader sees. Keep the byline, or switch it off for a house notice.
- Step 02
Draft, publish or schedule
Pick a future date and time in your site’s own timezone, so 7pm means 7pm. Categories and tags, with their colours, are managed in pop-ups right from the article list.
- Step 03
Set the paywall
Free, any active subscriber, or one named plan. A reader who isn’t entitled gets the headline, cover, category and tags — and a prompt that names exactly what unlocks the rest.
- Step 04
Connect it to the catalogue
Fill the related content block with an on-demand title, an event, a YouTube link and an audio file. It shows even on locked articles.
04/ 07WHAT IT DOES
Every capability below ships in Content → Blog & Articles and the Library section of the Studio.
02
A prompt that names the fix
Signed out, they’re asked to sign in. Not subscribed, they’re sent to pricing. On the wrong plan, the pricing page opens with the right plan already highlighted.
03
Photo and video galleries
Photos open in a full-screen lightbox with arrows, keyboard navigation, a counter and Escape to close. Videos play inline in your site’s own player.
04
Related content that sells
Four slots — an on-demand title, an event, a YouTube link and an audio file — shown even on locked articles, so every story leads readers into the paid catalogue.
05
Comments and moderation
One level of replies and four emoji reactions for readers. For you, a queue with Pending, Approved and Rejected tabs, live counts, search across bodies and authors, and bulk actions.
06
Tags that don’t multiply
The tag picker creates tags on the fly and quietly reuses an existing one whatever the capitalisation, so “Playoffs” and “playoffs” stay one tag.
07
AI-assisted drafting
Type a headline and get a formatted 400–600 word draft, a summary, a category suggested from your real list, keywords and search metadata — plus a 1200×630 cover in your colours if there’s no image. Switched on by an administrator.
08
Pages without a developer
About, Contact, Terms, Privacy and any page you add, placed in the footer and dragged into order.
09
Any page becomes a contact form
Route each form to a different department’s addresses. Messages land in an inbox with New, Read and Archived tabs and one-click reply — stored before the email goes out, so a mail outage can’t lose a lead.

Questions operators ask
No. When a reader isn’t entitled, the body, galleries and search metadata are never sent to their browser — only the headline, cover, category and tags. Your staff always see the full article, so they can preview it.
