Johan Danckwardt Survey of newspaper production flow for e-paper 3 Theory 3.4.1.1 Internal systems Newspilot Newspilot is an editorial system able to handle parallel publishing towards several different media types, e.g. text, motion pictures and audio. The system is not proprietary towards any specific layout software, advertising system or platform [Newspilot, 2003]. The Newspilot system consists of a planning tool, text editor, parallel publishing tool, image editing, auto repro, tracking device and archiving. From the text editor, you decide where the article should be published. The articles can be used through any number the publishing channels of choice without any additional work. The planning tool can be used not only to plan the work, but also to keep track of what persons are working with which articles at any given time, and when to publish the articles or other media formats [Newspilot, 2001]. Newspilot has a tracking system for supervising the entire publishing process of a newspaper or magazine. This system can for example track who is working with what page in the layout stage. This makes it impossible for two persons to work with the same page at the same time [Kjellin, 2005]. Pickup Pickup is supplied by Infomaker. Pickup is a system for handling production images, archive images, logotypes, other artwork and advertisements [Pickup, 2004]. The Pickup system that Sundsvalls Tidning uses is deployed as an image archive for older and new images [Eklund, 2005]. MPress Tieto Enator Media Systems AB is the supplier of the systems MPress Annons, MPress Redaktion and MPress Upplaga. These systems can be used individually or as a connected system where all the MPress parts are integrated with each other [Rehn, J. et Al., 2004]. Sundsvalls Tidning uses the advertising system MPress Annons [Söderlund, 2005] Adobe InDesign InDesign is a layout and design software supplied by Adobe. At the editorial department, InDesign is used for creating the layout and manage the typography of the newspaper pages [InDesign, 2005]. Adobe Acrobat Distiller This software from Adobe makes it possible to generate PDF from Post Script files. The software makes it easier to integrate Adobe PDF in document flows [Distiller, 2005]. PASSAD PASSAD is a system for handling subscription, single copies, distribution and sales. The system is supplied by PRESSsystem [PRESSsystem, 2005]. Resizing images Recently Sundsvalls Tidning took a new system into use, especially for resizing and resampling images intended for export to the web edition. The new system intended for resizing the images is called IPM Workflow Server and is supplied by Binuscan [Kjellin, 2005]. 13
