Document output

Produces camera-ready PDF's or InDesign documents which can be used for further modification.

Platform
agnostic

Publishers are not required to utilize the My News 360 CMS for their editorial production in order to use My News 360 Dynamic Production. Dynamic Production uses the My News 360 CMS to display, manage, and rank content. How that content gets into the CMS does not matter. Stories, images, and ads can be added into the system by directly using the My News 360 CMS or ingested through third party feeds from a customer's existing editorial system or web CMS. A publisher does not need to switch their editorial workflow to use Dynamic Production.

Creates
jumps

The system recognizes if the story text won’t fit in the allotted space and will carry over the rest of the story to a designated page automatically.

Hi-Res PDF's

Finalize pages and control output

Some publishers want more control over front pages and sections fronts—and that’s okay! The Dynamic Production is designed to offer that functionality and flexibility. Any page composed with automated templates can be opened and edited using Adobe InDesign. The system does all the work in placing the content in the same location on the page as seen on-screen. Designers and editors will see significant time-savings and efficiencies in preparing pages for final output when combined with the automation.
