📰 Your newsroom shouldn’t have to fight its CMS.

Surf CMS is being built specifically for community newspapers — with the everyday newsroom workflow at the center of it.

Editors and reporters get a streamlined Surf CMS Newsroom designed to make publishing faster and easier, with tools for:

✍️ Writing and editing stories
📸 Managing photos and media
🗓️ Scheduling stories for publication
🤖 AI-assisted newsroom tools
👤 Managing author profiles
📰 E-edition publishing
📱 Mobile-friendly publishing
📣 Publishing content across multiple digital channels

The goal isn’t to add more technology to the newsroom.

It’s to make the technology get out of the newsroom’s way.

Surf CMS combines modern publishing tools with a platform designed by people who understand community newspapers.

Spend less time managing your CMS. Spend more time publishing local news.
