Most newspaper groups pay for a web CMS, a circulation system, a paywall, and an advertising & billing back office — four vendors, four bills, and none of them share your data. HDM CMS is all four, on one database, across every paper you own.
A newspaper group typically runs four separate systems, from four vendors, that don’t share a single record. HDM CMS is one platform that does the work of all four.
No mockups. The console, the map, the paywall rules and the print planner below are live captures of the working platform — the same one we'll walk you through on your demo.
Studio, the editorial board, network sections and the social desk — one story fans out to every paper it belongs on.

The Edition Planner, a layout engine trained on your own back issues, and a panel that runs inside InDesign.
Explore print →
Deals pipeline, sell-by-map geo products, print booking with position exclusivity, and a commission engine.
Explore advertising →
Subscriber billing and renewals, carrier routes and the day’s-end close, and buy-sell billing for every carrier, store and hauler — the system that finally retires Newzware.
Explore circulation →
A paywall you compose, churn caught before the card declines, and attribution that names what sold each subscription.
Explore audience →Built around the one advantage a group has that a single paper doesn't: the network.
Pools unsold inventory across every paper, shows the money on the table, and traffics each order for maximum fill — leak-free.
One reporter writes a story; AI tailors the headline, dek and local angle for every paper and town in one click.
Scores every reader and sets the meter and offer in real time — generous to newcomers, decisive with the ready-to-subscribe.
Local businesses buy across any mix of your papers themselves; the revenue-split engine pays each title automatically.
Drag stories onto the page, let AI build and critique the layout, and export a press-ready PDF — without leaving the platform.
A real-time map of the whole network — what's converting and earning right now, everywhere you publish.
Designers keep InDesign. Photographers keep Photoshop. The platform ships panels that run inside both — so page layout and photo editing happen where they always have, connected to everything else.
A working platform — not slides. Tell us about your group and we’ll walk you through it running on real papers.
