Technology and Pagination
In 1999 the Society for News Design and the American Society of Newspaper Editors published a book about how managers could more successfully integrate new technologies into their newsrooms. This project include a number of chapters from the leading technologists in the newspaper industry, including:
- David M. Cole
- Heidi de Laubenfels
- Olivia Casey
- Ed Kohorst
While pagination, strictly speaking, is an outdated technology, the concepts about workflow and organization are still very valid.
I wrote about Embracing Change when it came to future technologies. There were a few things I got right:
- Working at home, even doing newspaper design
- Always connected to a network
- Using databases to edit and present content
- Constant feedback on what consumers are reading
