Strong mobile presence,
2014- date - Newsroom 3.0.- Digital first newsroom

17
Print and online editorial combined in one
Reverse the news production flow
August 2011
Newsroom ver 1.0 (2 years ago)

Challenge # 1. The physical integration of newsrooms

Rebuild the office, forget the walls, so people don’t hide in small rooms

Dismount the online and print structure, make editors equal

Mix print and online forming new departments responsible cross channel
Fakt old editorial office
18
August 2011
Fakt Newsroom
Newsroom ver 1.0 (2 years ago)

Challenge # 2. Technical unity

Removal of any tech obstacles

Creation of one text input tool, a single print/online cms/interface from CMS to Woodwing

Leave just few channel specialists with designated tools
Challenge # 3. A mental change


Reestablish the role of the department chief

Empower the online content manager/the online chief editor

Make your “old” online staff introduce internet to the “old” print editors
The chiefs of departments came under big preassure. Not only they had to cope with
print needs but were also responsible to provide manpower for online needs!
19
August 2011
Newsroom ver 1.0 (2 years ago)
Challenge nr 4. Constant coaching


Give everybody a chance to be a digital journalist

Remind from the start that online has no deadlines

Give easy ways to see how your site performs
Statistics shown in easy way
Key Principles:
Not everybody will be able to work in news environment but, everybody deserves a chance
The first and biggest mindset change is the need to work on Saturdays and early morning
From the start teach people to understand how their articles perform on the web, give simple
tools before telling them to use Google Analytics
