Alexa for Publishers

# Your newspaper, on 100 million Alexa devices.

A branded Alexa skill for your publication. Readers hear your news, see it on Echo Show screens, follow along line by line, and tune in to live local radio — all from your CMS.

Beyond reading

## Readers can now hear — and interact with — your news.

### Branded skill, your masthead

Your name, your sections, your voice. We build and publish the skill under your brand on the Alexa Skills store.

### Interactive screen designs

APL-enabled interfaces for Echo Show that put navigation in the reader's hands — front page, sections, community, webcams.

### AI article summaries

Every article carries a dynamically generated summary, so a listener gets the gist before the full read.

### Read-along mode

Alexa narrates while the current line highlights and the text scrolls — karaoke-style, built for accessibility.

### 24/7 live radio

Curated local stations stream inside the skill for real-time updates and community programming.

### Easy CMS integration

Publishing with Our Hometown, BLOX Digital, WordPress, or another CMS? We connect to it. No double entry.

Read-along

## Follow every line as Alexa reads it

The line being narrated highlights in yellow and the paragraph scrolls automatically. Built for visually impaired readers and for anyone who learns by listening.

Summaries

## The gist first, the story on request

AI-generated summaries let readers scan headlines by voice and dive into what matters. Your editorial stays yours; the summary is a door, not a replacement.

Live radio

## The whole community in one skill

Local radio channels, community pages, and live webcams sit beside the news — the skill becomes the town's speaker, not just the paper's.

## Put your masthead on Alexa.

We onboard newspapers in weeks, not quarters. Tell us your CMS and we'll map the path.
