Live Blog software is used to create live blogs, which are blog posts intended to provide rolling textual coverage of breaking news or ongoing events by allowing reporters to publish and continuously update content. This type of software helps deliver time-sensitive content accurately to reach wider audiences, increase transparency, and boost engagement. Live blog software is used by writers and journalists, especially those who work in the field, to document and update published content. These tools help to reduce the delay in reporting on important events, as well as facilitate collaboration between reporters. In doing so, it makes the traditional process of journalism and news distribution more efficient.
Live blog software often integrates with content management systems and content distribution software to allow for blogs to be published wherever a company posts its content.

Allow users to create and update blog entries composed with rich text, media, and other imbedded content using drag-and-drop functionality and WYSIWYG editing
