Using projects is a feature of the iNEWS newsroom computer system that provides a way of categorizing stories by topic so that news teams working on a particular topic can find everything related to it in a single place, without moving or copying the original source information from its current location in the iNEWS database. Facets are sub-topics, providing additional granularity to projects.

In MediaCentral UX, iNEWS projects are listed in the Launch pane. Open a project from the Launch pane to view each project’s contents in the Assets pane. You open facets and the project’s queues from the Assets pane.
