Description
OlliNewsroom is a turnkey newsroom solution for WordPress.
It gives you the tools to discover, review, organize and publish news from RSS and Atom sources and present that content through a dedicated newsroom on your own WordPress website.

Your Newsroom, Inside WordPress
OlliNewsroom is designed to keep the editorial workflow inside WordPress.

News sources and publishing remain under the control of the website administrator.

OlliNewsroom Pro is available for websites that need additional professional functionality.
The Pro edition adds features such as AI-assisted publishing with your own OpenAI API account, advanced newsroom customization, custom branding, advertising options and whitelabel capabilities.

OpenAI services are not included with OlliNewsroom Pro. AI functionality is optional and requires a separate OpenAI account and API usage.
Privacy
OlliNewsroom connects to RSS and Atom feed URLs configured by the site administrator in order to retrieve news content.
Requests to those external feed providers may disclose standard connection information, such as the website server’s IP address, to the provider of the configured feed.
If the email subscription functionality is enabled, subscriber information is stored by the WordPress website running OlliNewsroom.
Website administrators are responsible for providing an appropriate privacy notice and for handling subscriber data and externally sourced content in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
OlliNewsroom itself does not require an external AI service.
External Services
OlliNewsroom retrieves content from RSS and Atom feed URLs explicitly configured by the website administrator.
The availability, content, privacy practices and terms of those external sources are controlled by their respective providers.
Website administrators are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights to retrieve, store and republish content and images obtained from external sources.
