The The Philadelphia Inquirer invested in its print product because it drives profitability and because "having a strong paper also strengthens and brings credibility to the digital product". Sweden-based mediatech business Roxen worked on the project and are a commercial partner of Press Gazette. Rozen managing director Per Östlund 🇺🇦 has written for Press Gazette about the importance of investing in the print product for news publishers. He said: "The printed newspaper – most likely with a different frequency and in a different format – is what truly distinguishes traditional media companies from online-only outlets. So, the big question here is not only what will happen to quality journalism if media companies stop publishing their printed newspapers, but also how the same media companies then will manage to differentiate themselves? How will the credibility built up through decades of journalistic coverage live on when there are no longer any physical products to relate to and engage with?" https://lnkd.in/ejagjqjP

Press Gazette's partners Papermule Ltd are helping publishers to escape hundreds of tiny tasks and the tyranny of email through automation. Managing director Mike Hoy explained how publishers such as Bauer Media Group and The Telegraph are using Papermule to automate advertising workflows. He says: "We want to make sure that as few fingerprints are left on things as possible. Our view is, if you’ve had to take a PDF out of an email and put it on a file server and name it then you’re doing it wrong. Because although that exercise seems fairly innocuous it’s, one, been done by a human, who is fallible, and, two, taken 30 seconds to a minute to do, which it didn’t need to – it should have just happened.” https://lnkd.in/eKhng-99 #automation #publishing #media
