Newsroom MasonryPRO

A CSS-columns masonry of linked newsroom cards under a parenthetical eyebrow and a large heading, where the image aspect ratio cycles by position so the wall keeps an uneven, magazine-like rhythm.

Blog52: Newsroom Masonry

A blog section that renders a balanced CSS-columns masonry of linked newsroom cards beneath a Badge7 eyebrow and a large heading. The image aspect ratio cycles by position through a six-entry list, which gives the wall an uneven, magazine-like rhythm without the card heights depending on how long each headline runs.

Base UI flavor

npx shadcn add "https://ui.beste.co/r-base/blog52?email=YOUR_EMAIL&license_key=YOUR_KEY"

This installs the block to components/beste/block/blog52.tsx and its dependencies, including the Badge7 component it renders.

Quick start

The installed file exports blog52Demo alongside the block: the exact props behind the preview above. Spread it to get a working masonry in one line.

tsx
import { Blog52, blog52Demo } from "@/components/beste/block/blog52";

export default function Page() {
  return <Blog52 {...blog52Demo} />;
}

Then replace the demo with your own props. Written out, a trimmed setup looks like this:

tsx
import { Blog52 } from "@/components/beste/block/blog52";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <Blog52
      badge={{ label: "Newsroom" }}
      heading="Latest from the press office"
      description="Filings and operating updates, published as they clear review."
      items={[
        {
          image: { src: "/news/margin.jpg", alt: "A printed quarterly statement on a desk" },
          category: "Markets",

          category: "Operations",

            name: "Maria Santos",
            avatar: { src: "/team/maria.jpg", alt: "Maria Santos" },
          },
          href: "/news/aragon",
        },
        {

          category: "Governance",
          title: "Board appoints a new chief operating officer",
