# What is Newsroom Planner?

## Overview

 You have three different types of planning in Newsroom Planner.

1. **Events.** Let your teams manage, browser and search events, like press conferences, football games, concerts or other events. A calendar event covers all info you need about the event, like date and time, description, links, images, category and other tagging.

2. **Plans.** It's about story planning. When you decide to cover an event, you need an easy way to create, browse and filter your stories. A plan is like a folder for your content, with meta data, links and other info you need.<br>

3. **Assignments.** Is a part of a planning , and is used to tell who is doing what and when. It's about resource planning.

These three components are interconnected. At an event you add a plan, on a plan you add assignments. Further on in this manual, this will become clearer. (If you do not want to add a plan to an event you do not have to, but an assignment always needs a connection to a plan.)
