Why Jostle is better than an intranet
Intranets disperse news across siloed sites, so it's hard to find, particularly on a phone. To get your content read, you need to push notifications into everyone’s inbox every time you publish. Those inboxes are overwhelmed and your content gets missed.
Jostle organizes news into a single place where each item is targeted so that users only see what’s relevant to them.
Red Dots get users to new content, without needing to constantly impose email notifications on your colleagues. Content is easy to find, including on your phone.

FAQs
What are the AI functions in News?
JostleAI suggests cover images based on the content of your draft article. JostleAI also generates enticing summaries that are used in the email Digest and JostleTV.
Does JostleAI help me write my News item?

How does image licensing work?
The images suggested by JostleAI are professional photos that can be uploaded to become the Tile Image or your News item. These arrive licensed for purpose, free of charge.
Do I need to delete old news?
No. News works as a timeline. Old news simply moves out of view, but is still available via search as part of your “cultural history”. Archiving is available, but best practice is to only archive time-sensitive content, such as last week's cafeteria menu.
To quote an anonymous G2 reviewer from the banking industry, “We post company articles and make announcements through Jostle. And we always have the history to look back on...unlike emails that just get lost eventually.”
How are the groups I publish to managed?
Jostle News sets visibility per item, so each person only sees what’s relevant to them. You can publish an item to a team, department, location, employee type, and/or a list of individuals.
How are group permissions kept up to date?
Throughout Jostle, permissions can be tied to dynamic groups (departments, locations, etc) that sync automatically with your other systems.
