Hayden’s Hub Journal Page Content

The Hayden’s Hub Journal is our blog and advocacy space, where we share research, community stories, creative content, and youth voices. This page explains all related content models in Contentful and how to manage them.

Content Models for Journal

Section titled “Content Models for Journal”

The Journal is powered by 8 content models:

  1. Academic Blog
  2. Advocacy Blog
  3. Community Spotlight Blog
  4. Creative Blog
  5. Youth Voices Blog
  6. Author
  7. Guidelines
  8. TOC Item (Table of Contents for Guidelines)

Each content model serves a specific purpose:

The Hayden’s Hub Journal accepts submissions across five different article types: Academic, Advocacy, Community Spotlight, Creative, and Youth Voices. Each of these types has its own dedicated content model in Contentful, because the information required is different for each.

For example, an Academic article needs an abstract, references, and a structured main content area, while a Creative entry might only need a title, rich text content, and optional images. This separation ensures that the website displays each type of content in the right format and makes it easy for admins to manage entries without confusion.
