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While pagination, strictly speaking, is an outdated technology, the concepts about workflow and organization are still very valid.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
