Tickaroo Live Blog News Template

The Tickaroo News Template is the perfect tool for fast and intuitive live reporting. You can schedule posts in advance and save them as unpublished. Unpublished posts can be manually or automatically published at a specific time.  Enhance your liveblog with third-party content, images, videos, polls, quotes, and more.  Customize the look of your liveblog using the Theme Generator in Tickaroo, and if needed, add your own CSS styles.  There’s also a Reporter App that offers the same features as the web app. Of course, sports content can also be shared in the News Template. Use sports data, player cards, sports events, or scoreboards for this purpose.

Tickaroo Live Blog Sports Templates

In addition to the News Template, Tickaroo offers various sports templates tailored to specific sports.  These templates already include the sport-specific rules and times, allowing live coverage of sports events in real-time with minimal effort from the editorial team. Unlike the News Template, a dedicated block for specific sports events appears above the rich text field in the Liveblog Editor, making it easy to quickly select events. If you're missing a sports template or have questions or suggestions about the rules and events in a template, feel free to let us know anytime.

Editor Menu Bar: Exit editor

If you are in a liveblog, you will see the icon "Exit Editor" to leave the liveblog in the top left corner. All posts that have already been published will be saved.  If you are in the process of creating or editing a post, you will be asked if you really want to leave this page. Any unsaved/published content will be lost.
