Jim Slusher, assistant managing editor at Paddock’s Daily Herald in Chicaogoland, reflects on changes in newsroom technology over the past several decades in his column today.
For our part, it’s true that Paddock’s implementation of our Mediaware Center to manage digital and print production introduces new techniques, procedures and yes, even new vocabularies. Never fear. We provide a GUI (that’s Graphical User Interface) and a glossary in multiple languages.

The result? The busiest single day for web traffic on the Sun’s site in months, thanks to awesome multimedia coverage.
After The Daily Herald in Everett, Washington went live on the SAXOTECH publishing platform last month, news editor Mark Carlson wrote up an insightful article for his company's employee newsletter. We saw a copy and asked for permission to post it here, and the answer was "Yes, that would be fine with us. We’re extremely pleased." So here you go...
