Issues

Newspapers, magazines and other news related publishers experience difficulties in managing not only today’s sheer volume of digital images and other files being created, but also have to deal with questions relating to:

• Captioning, indexing and cataloguing
• Colour management and quality control
• Capture and delivery of images in remote location
• File format and conversion
• Rights management and syndication
• Archive management and distribution

Many other publishers (eg book publishers) face similar issues but often with a different emphasis and these concerns need addressing in a particular fashion. Non-core publishers (eg Corporations) are also experiencing new challenges, particularly with new media files and documents (eg web site content and PDF).
