News: Overview

The Beatrix News module is a service created to quickly and easily disseminate relevant news across the school’s web platforms, whether that news is articles written in-house by Yale staff or a link to an external news source. In short, the way it works is:

  • A user uploads a news article or link to an external article

  • Via tagging, the article is automatically added to related faculty and staff profiles and suggested to relevant organizations

  • Once designated users in each organization review and approve that news, it will appear on their respective websites.

The news system is part of Beatrix.yale.edu.

  • You can log in to the system by visiting https://beatrix.yale.edu/

  • You can add news by going to that news page and clicking the Add News button or by clicking the News navigation item on the left and then clicking the Add News button.

To get access to an organization in the faculty profile system, email ysm.editor@yale.edu with your name, netid, and the name of the organization to which you want access.

In 2025, the Beatrix News module was upgraded. Newly introduced features include easier to read news articles, a brand new, engaging landing page, and specific article formats for creating articles with specific purposes like interview articles, announcements about faculty awards and promotions, and more.
