joel Check this morning’s paper for some jet engines attached.
As Erie Times News Managing Editor Pat Howard wrote in his Sunday column, “Daily deadlines won’t wait for high-tech learning curve,” about half of today’s (Tuesday 9/23/2008) paper was created with a new Content Management System, which allows the reporters, photographers, and editors to fully manage the work flow of their stories from words and pictures in their heads to ink and graphics on the pages you read in your PJ’s or on the bus.
Mr. Howard confirmed with The Press and Tower that the new CMS is the NewsSpeed Editorial/Pagination Suite by Digital Technology International out of Utah. According to DTI’s website:
A newspaper’s most valuable assets are information and the ability of writers, editors, and advertisers to tailor that information to suit the needs of its readers. DTI’s NewsSpeed Editorial/Pagination Suite helps you unify your data so this valuable information is not locked into a format that is designed for one purpose–to put news on paper.
