Pressly Launches as the First Project Management Platform Built for Student Publications

HOUSTON - July 3, 2025 - PRLog -- Today marks the official launch of Pressly (www.pressly.pro), a groundbreaking web-based platform built specifically for high school journalism programs. Designed with the needs of advisers and students in mind, Pressly helps manage every step of the publication process from planning and deadlines to feedback and collaboration, making it easier than ever to produce yearbooks, newspapers, literary magazines, and broadcast teams like pros.

"Student publications are the ultimate group project," Katie Moreno said, founder of Organized Adviser and former journalism adviser. "But until now, advisers had to cobble together a system using tools meant for businesses or rely on endless sticky notes and spreadsheets. Pressly is the only platform made just for us."

Pressly simplifies complex workflows, helps keep students accountable, and ensures advisers never lose track of progress.

Key Features (https://www.pressly.pro/features):

• Project tracking for your yearbook, newspaper/magazine, broadcast program, media website, and literary magazine
• Customizable assignments with planning tools, status tracking, comments for peer-to-peer collaboration and editor/adviser review, etc
• Event Calendar to ensure all school events are captured and covered across publications
• Coverage Planner to make sure every story gets told and every student gets covered
• Staff Manager to collect helpful staff info like birthdays, favorite snacks (sweet and salty), go-to drinks, and t-shirt sizes for quick and easy planning
• Adviser-centric features such as a built-in lesson planning dashboard, recommendation letter tracker, activity fund tracker, communication log, and professional development log
• Robust library of instructional videos, marketing hub, link library, and other educational resources  
• Role-Based Access so students only see what they need and advisers can oversee and moderate all content
• Thoughtfully designed with student data regulations in mind: no direct uploads, no one-to-one communications, adviser has full control over content moderation, etc.

Early beta testers praised Pressly for reducing adviser burnout and helping student teams stay organized and engaged. As one adviser shared, "This whole platform is amazing! Fantastic job. This has so much potential and I'm really really excited about this!"
