Platform Overview & Mission

About My Online Paper

A modern cloud platform for independent news publishers, digital newsrooms, and magazines to operate professional news websites and publish interactive digital E-Papers.

Our Purpose

Modern Publishing Infrastructure for Independent Newsrooms

Independent newspapers, regional journals, and local newsrooms often face prohibitive technical hurdles in migrating from print-only operations to high-performing digital environments. Building bespoke content management systems and digital e-paper readers requires ongoing engineering overhead that diverts resources from reporting.

My Online Paper solves this as a managed multi-tenant Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform. We deliver full-featured digital news publishing, archive preservation, and electronic replica reading out of the box—giving editors and reporters turnkey tools to run their publication autonomously.

To inspect live publications and active newsrooms operating on our multi-tenant network, explore our Public Publications Directory.

Verified Capabilities

Publishing Workflows Supported by the Platform

Every workflow below is natively implemented in our cloud architecture and accessible through the Publisher Admin CMS.

Multi-Tenant News CMS

Each publication operates within a securely partitioned tenant namespace. Newsrooms manage their own editorial desk, category taxonomies, and author bylines without cross-tenant data leakage.

  • Draft, review & publish lifecycles
  • Hierarchical categories & tags
  • Author attribution & bios

Interactive E-Paper Engine

Publishers upload complete print-edition PDFs, which are processed into high-fidelity digital replicas. Readers enjoy responsive page turning, zoom, pan, and historical archive browsing.

  • Chronological edition archive
  • Reader zoom & smooth pan navigation
  • Publisher PDF download toggle

Custom Domain Architecture

Publications publish on their own custom domains (e.g., yourpaper.com) or subdomains. Incoming traffic is dynamically routed to the proper publication context via edge middleware.

  • Whitelabel custom domain mapping
  • Automated DNS record verification
  • Subdomain reservation protection

AI Editorial Assistant

Writers and copy editors leverage integrated AI assistance inside the article editor to accelerate drafting, generate alternate headlines, and summarize complex investigative reports (with active AI provider configuration).

  • SEO headline generation
  • Copy proofreading & tone polish
  • Automated article summaries

Privacy-First Analytics

Publishers track story engagement and daily reader trends without intrusive third-party cookies or surveillance tracking. Telemetry uses non-blocking beacons for zero impact on reader experience.

  • Non-blocking beacon telemetry
  • Article & e-paper engagement metrics
  • Daily summary aggregation

Role-Based Access Control & Audit Logs

Role-based access control enforces granular authority for Owners, Admins, Editors, and Reporters. Platform actions are recorded in immutable audit logs with zero administrative impersonation.

  • Granular role-based permissions
  • Server-side immutable audit trails
  • Zero user impersonation by platform admins
