ROLE OF
TECHNOLOGY
Biggest Challenge:
Our technology is only as good
as our ability to consistently
deploy, monitor and use it to
improved results
Tools we’re deploying now:
- Commercial printing & specialty printing tech
Our biggest investments in technology have been related
to being able to serve our printing customers better
- Bolstering e-edition, digital subscription access
& membership portals
- Contest and audience engagement tools
Areas of improvement we are most interested in:
- Circulation, Member and Route management
technology that is truly data-base driven.
Looking outside of the newspaper industry for
solution. Will probably isolate routes from the
rest.
- Internal communication tools as staff is
increasingly responsible for multiple locations.
