Start with reporting responsibilities
Map the beats and places your newsroom can cover consistently. Ask what readers need to find quickly and which subjects have an editor or reporter responsible for maintaining coverage.
A section should help readers navigate meaningful reporting. Avoid creating a page for every locality if there is no distinct coverage, archive, or update plan behind it.
Keep the hierarchy understandable
Use a small number of clear top-level topics, then add district or city navigation where it helps readers. Explain how local stories relate to statewide subjects such as government, education, agriculture, business, culture, and sports.
Review the structure on mobile. Menus and breadcrumbs should help readers understand where a story belongs without forcing them through several empty levels.
Give each section an owner and purpose
Document who assigns, edits, updates, and reviews each section. Define what belongs there, how stories are tagged, and when old or outdated material should be reviewed.
Use consistent names across the CMS, navigation, URLs, and analytics. This makes newsroom handoffs and later reporting easier to understand.
Connect the taxonomy to CMS and SEO checks
Confirm that section pages have stable URLs, accurate titles, useful introductory context where needed, pagination or archive behaviour, and links to relevant stories. Inspect canonical tags and sitemap output after configuration.
SaraBiT Media can discuss section planning as part of a Punjab news portal CMS evaluation. Bring a coverage map and ask how the proposed setup handles sections, editions, editors, and archive migration.
