Thanks to GN4, editorial system proposed by GMDE
With a view to improving editorial flows,
La Regione di Bellinzona has shown the need to manage the information in a process in which the news is created for the website and then formatted on the printed edition in the publishing system.
Thanks to the use of page templates, libraries and editorial rudders previously created, the production of the paper edition is more fluid.
GN4 by Miles33, the editorial system proposed by GMDE, allows the editorial staff to choose the graphic setting of each page where to go to insert their articles through a web interface.
The about 30 editors involved in the production of the newspaper articles, work on the piece directly in the back-end of the CMS, choose photos from agencies and/or their archives, and direct the finished piece to the "paper" channel. The editorial system, in addition to previewing the result on the page, has some automatisms that control the images chosen and, according to the cut set by the editor, apply the right corrections for high-quality print output.
Digital First, without forgetting the paper
The choice to develop the most traditional paper channel is an important vehicle for the brand’s success on the territory. The project was entirely developed by the GMDE team in collaboration with the Publisher who first believed in this solution. The Region has been live with this solution since 8 March 2020.
