COMMUNITY NEWS UNTIL RECENTLY
Here is how community news was published until recently: -
- News came into the office or was collected by journalists
- Articles had to be written and images found for publication
- Advertising had to be sourced to provide funds for publishing
- Publishing layouts had to be agreed and be attractive and informative
- As news came in it filled the spaces in the agreed layouts
- Designers had to design artwork ready for printing
- Everything had to be brought together in one place
- Everything had to be proof read for accuracy
- Editors were responsible to oversee the final result
- Artwork then went to the printers for printing
- And the papers then had to be distributed
IMAGINE A NEW APPROACH
WHERE EVERYONE WORKS IN PARALLEL
AND NEWS IS PUBLISHED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
Here's how it works: -
The structure also offers other benefits: -
- Journalists, Editors, Designers, Proof Readers and Contributors all work together in one network at the same time
- They can share information with each other both in Private or in Public any time they choose, day or night
- News can be published directly to Local Communities and proof read and edited in real time
- Content is also vetted by all members of the network and taken down if needs be
- Selected content can be taken by Designers for the Monthly Bayside News Digital Magazine
- It has already been published and proof read so back and forth emails are not required to get approval
- At the same time work can be taking place on creation of the Quarterly Bayside News Hard Copy Magazine
The structure also offers other benefits: -
- Over 20 Local Communities are being kept up to date with news in real time
- The network also contains Businesses, Community Groups and Members of the Public
- Members of the network can get to know each other and build friendships as well as work together
- It allows people to work from anywhere they like, as much as they like, and whenever they like
- "Cub" journalists, volunteers and people doing magazine distribution can also join the team
- The structure is open and flexible so new ideas and suggestions can often be adopted
- It provides jobs and puts publishing back into the hands of the local community
- The local economy is boosted as wages paid stay mostly within the area
- It is also run by locals who are easily accessible and accountable
- It provides trusted content and guards against "fake news"
- IT'S PUTTING "COMMUNITY" BACK INTO COMMUNITY PUBLISHING
