Milan, Italy. May 11th, 2011 - Based in Turin in north-west Italy, La Stampa is one of the country’s most authoritative dailes with a widespread readership in both Italy and abroad. As part of a complete reorganization of its newsroom, La Stampa has announced that it will move its editorial operations to EidosMedia’s multiple-channel platform, Méthode.
“Since 1999 we have been serving our readers through both print and digital editions,” said Luigi Vanetti, La Stampa’s Managing Director. “The recent addition of mobile and tablet channels has enriched that offer even further, confirming our long-standing focus on new editorial technologies. Méthode will allow us to achieve complete integration between these different publication routes and give us a firm foundation for future development and growth.”
The Méthode platform will foster a thorough reorganization of La Stampa’s newsroom operations by driving all publication channels from a common editorial workflow, tailoring output automatically to the requirements of each publication medium, creating synergies and enhancing quality.
“La Stampa is a very forward-looking publication with an extensive and demanding readership,” said Gabriella Franzini, EidosMedia’s CEO. “We are excited to be helping La Stampa move forward with this important next step in the newspaper’s development.”
As well as the daily paper in its print and digital editions, Méthode will also be used to produce the paper’s print supplements and weekly magazines. It will serve over 250 staff in La Stampa’s newsroom and production department, replacing an Atex Hermes system.
