Johan Danckwardt Survey of newspaper production flow for e-paper Appendix Interview with Kjell Carnbro Editor in Chief at Sundsvalls Tidning (2005-04-20) (Translated from Swedish to English) E-paper as a product, what can it do for Sundsvalls Tidning? Kjell Carnbro is not involved in the e-paper project at Sundsvalls Tidning but he is positive to all new forms of distribution of a future e-paper product. As he sees it, Sundsvalls Tidning are looking at too ways of forming the e-paper product. The first way is to duplicate the existing paper product, in this case the risk of failure is high because of lack of adding value to the existing formats. The other way is to see the e-paper product as a complementary to the paper product. Today the newspapers webpage is seen as a complement to the paper product. When the product is ready to launch which are the target groups Sundsvalls Tidning should head for? The first target group Kjell Carnbro can think of is the travelling business man/woman. The optimal would be that the people out on the country side would adapt the new technology because of the high costs for distribution to those areas. The problem with this target group is that the average age is quit high and reluctance to adapt new technologies, they like having their paper product in their hands. Will services you offer on your webpage have a place in the e-paper product? As the development have been with e.g. the classifieds, more of this market has moved from the newspapers to different marketplaces on the web. One of these places are blocket.se. If the e-paper product will have built in interactivity the classifieds will be a important part of the e-paper because of the added value to the reader. Should subscribers have more choices of subscription types, or should the subscribers have the same choices as today? As it is today the readers can not choose which parts of the newspaper they will get in their mailboxes, they get it all. To make the e-paper a more interesting product the subscribers should have the ability to choose what to subscribe for. It would be great if you subscribe to Sundsvalls Tidning and are interested in the pages with politics, you also could receive the political response from Dagbladet. When building this new product it is important to listen to the readers for what the wishes are. The multitude idea is part of the democratic commission. 54
Johan Danckwardt Survey of newspaper production flow for e-paper Appendix Interview with Rolf Eklund Responsible of the editorial system at Sundsvalls Tidning (2005-04-19) (Translated from Swedish to English) What kind of systems do Sundsvalls Tidning (ST) use for images? At the moment ST is working with two systems. The first is Pickup which is an old system that we use as a archive. The second system is Newspilot (NP), which is an editorial system. In the nearby future we will close down Pickup and only use NP. But at the moment the link between NP and Pickup does not work properly. You can not at the moment pick a picture from Pickup in NP. How does the link between the images and the editorial texts work? When a photographer and a reporter get back from a job they receive a template where they are supposed to write their texts and put in the pictures. The photographer drag and drop the picture he wants to use to the article in the template. The reporter writes the headline, text, and the caption of the picture. The caption of the picture is saved and added to the pictures metadata if it is different to the existing description. When the photographer put in new pictures, he or she must state several different parameters to the metadata. Then the template is ready the Newspilot system create a XML-file of the article. Pickup (old) Archive Newspilot (New) At the moment Newspilot can not pick up pictures from the archive in Pickup, this must be solved before Sundsvalls Tidning can put down Pickup. If a article will use an old picture then the template or job must be created in Pickup. What picture formats do Sundsvalls Tidning use? At the moment Sundsvalls Tidning use JPG and EPS. Because the usage of JPG, Sundsvalls Tidning nowadays only use high resolution pictures. When a new picture is put down in Newspilot transmits a copy to Pickup. When the picture is received by Pickup a scaled down copy of the picture with lower resolution (72 dpi) is created for usage for the newspapers webpage.
