“Nordkurier” Orders Editorial System from ppi Media
Tuesday 16. April 2013 - 120 workplaces in the Editorial Department to be equipped with Content-X
As of next month, “Nordkurier” will use ppi Media’s editorial system Content-X to produce the editorial contents for all media channels. Altogether, 120 workplaces in the Editorial Department will be equipped with the InDesign-based Content-X for reporting.
The restructuring of the Editorial Department and replacement of the existing software result from the outcome of reader surveys that drove Lutz Schumacher, Editor-in-Chief and Managing Director of “Nordkurier”, to action: “The future of regional daily newspapers lies in the region as well as local and, to some extent, even sub-local neighborhoods. This applies for both printed newspapers and digital products. Almost all large national and international topics have an effect at the local and regional level. In future, we want to emphasize this local aspect more for our readers.” To achieve this target, the “Nordkurier” will end its cooperation with the Schweriner Volkszeitung for the production of full-run pages in the middle of this year and increase the number of employed editors from 106 to 120. In addition, it will employ 14 trainee journalists.
Print and Digital
By introducing Content-X, “Nordkurier” is setting itself up for the digital present and future. “We are pleased to become a strong partner for “Nordkurier” and assist in implementing its new strategy with our solutions and our know-how,” said Norbert Ohl, Managing Director of ppi Media.
