Ardán seomra nuachta agus foilsithe a bheidh go hiomlán ar an láthair agus scéal-lárnach a bheidh sa réiteach atá beartaithe. Déanfar an réiteach a leagan amach sa chaoi go mbeidh fócas digiteach ar dtús i gceist leis chun tacú le cruthú, athrú agus dáileadh tapa ábhair ar fud na gcainéal ar líne agus na gcainéal sóisialta, fad a bheidh rochtain shlán ag daoine seachtracha údaraithe air i gcónaí, lena n-áirítear iriseoirí agus cianeagarthóirí. Ní mór a bheith ábalta aistriú go héasca ó ábhar a fháil go dtí foilsiú digiteach ilardáin an ábhair sin, agus aschraoladh ag feidhmiú mar chuid bhreise chomhtháite den phríomhshreabhadh oibre. Ní mór a bheith ábalta cur leis an gcóras agus ní mór ar dtús go mbeadh 10 n-iriseoir/eagarthóir in ann é a úsáid ag an am céanna. Ní mór plean oiliúna mionsonraithe a chur ar fáil freisin
