Staying ahead of the Digital Curve

College Publisher hosted this session at 12:30 p.m. on Friday and introduced the new edition of College Publisher. The College Publisher 5.0 Beta will be slowly added to newspapers next year.
The biggest news about this version is it will no longer be issue based! This means that the site can be updated as things occur (like a real newsroom).

Another important highlight is that users will have more control of their site's design. Before, you'd have to get in touch with a design expert with College Publisher (which took a while for them to answer their phones) and they would change the site for the user. Now the user can do as they please, with no html knowledge necessary. In the administration screen, all one needs to do is drag and drop. Content can be added to any column.

College Publisher teamed up with a company from Sweden to completely redesign their product. They realized that while their initial product was good, it was not offering college media all that it needed.
