There are a lot of advantages in automatic processing of newspaper data directly from the editorial system instead of re-processing PDF:
- The quality of the archived data is much better (see screenshots)
- Digital editions (like ePaper and mobile editions) are created instantaneously,
- There is no running cost for the processing - it is fully automatic and runs directly in the night after the last page of the newspaper is ready.
While some publishers are sending their finished PDF pages to service providers that manually re-process the data, this has, in comparison, many disadvantages: Apart from the cost for the manual processing (it means actually a re-processing or reverse engineering of a printed page into individual articles) and the lack of speed and quality, the main drawback is that the core of their own data - the editorial archive database - is not within the realm and own control of the publisher.
For newspapers becoming “content companies” it is crucial to be in control of their content and have it readily available for re-use within their own digital asset management systems.
This is exactly what the Comyan Media System offers. |
