News doesn’t happen in the newsroom. With AP ENPS Mobile you can take your newsroom with you wherever you go. Remotely monitor assignments and rundowns, receive message notifications from co-workers, write and edit stories, and access breaking news, wires, stories, planning and rundowns with a smartphone or tablet. The included Tablet Story Viewer (TSV) lets anchors and reporters read and review stories directly from their iPhone or iPad and stay in sync with story changes automatically. All TSV content is cached on your device in the event your connection to the server is interrupted. AP ENPS Mobile caches your user credentials letting you login quicker and stay logged in. Note: This is not the AP News application. It is part of the AP ENPS news production suite and requires your organization to have a properly licensed and configured AP ENPS system.
