Multimedia

Use Multimedia for podcast, video, interview, transcript, and media-feed entries.

Prerequisites

• The related article or media entry has approved title, slug, body, publish date, contributor, and lead image.
• Audio, video, transcript, and feed metadata are ready when the entry should appear on multimedia surfaces.

Steps

1. Open Multimedia.
2. Create or edit a Media entry.
3. Add audio URL, video URL, transcript, video title, lead image, and media RSS fields as applicable.
4. Save draft.
5. Preview /podcasts or the target media route.
6. Publish or schedule when validation passes.

Resulting state

Published multimedia entries become available to the /podcasts experience and any configured media feeds. Draft entries remain internal.

Permissions

Operators need CMS write access. Feed publication should be limited to approved audio/video items.

Failure cases and recovery

• Broken media URL: replace the field and re-preview.
• Missing transcript: keep the entry draft until the transcript is available or explicitly approved as absent.
• Incorrect feed inclusion: remove the media RSS flag, save, and verify the feed.
