Newspaper web publishing
This is a good example of successful integration between newspaper and web publishing.
The final print production deadline of the Kalgoorlie Miner is (sadly) 4.45pm. An off-duty reporter heard at 5.30pm there had been an escape from the Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison.
She called me and I put our web staff on standby while the reporter went to the police station for more detail. She phoned me with the facts as they stood.
Three prisoners had escaped at 3.40pm. Two had been recaptured and one prisoner, considered dangerous, was still on the loose. I filed the report and it was online by 5.50pm.
Newspapers are the only media with the resources and expertise to react so quickly and efficiently on a regular basis. That’s why I strongly believe in integration between print and the web.
