Industries

Media

A newsroom has to be able to publish, correct and republish without going through a developer. Editorial independence is the first requirement.

Stakes

What weighs on the trade

  • Editorial independence over content
  • Volume and weight of media assets
  • Display speed on a limited connection
  • Reliable audience measurement

Critical operations

What must not stop

  • Writing and editorial approval
  • Publication and scheduling
  • Media library management
  • Multi-channel distribution
  • Audience measurement and analysis

Why digitalise

What technology changes here

A media site is judged on how long the first article takes to appear. Optimising images and caching does more for audience than any additional feature.

What can be automated

  • Generation of image formats suited to each display
  • Scheduled publication
  • Automatic distribution to secondary channels
  • Generation of sharing metadata
  • Periodic audience reports
