As newsrooms evolve, speed, adaptability, and seamless workflows have become the backbone of modern journalism. That’s why Octopus Newsroom and RT Software are taking newsroom graphics to the next level with a powerful new integration. Swift News now fully supports Octopus 12, enabling journalists to create and manage stunning on-air graphics directly within their familiar Octopus Newsroom interface.

We’re confident that Octopus Newsroom customers will be keen to experience this latest development in our partnership. Our goal is to make the process of getting graphics on air as simple and efficient as possible and to bring significant value to newsroom operations.
