The next generation of news editing software is here with Version 6 of the Pongrass News Editor
Thin Client
News Editor uses a standard web browser with no local program required. News Editor is fully featured and enables the same program to be used in the newsroom or remotely from any location with Internet access. User preferences are stored on the server, allowing journalists to use any available terminal.
Version 6 Database
Like other components in the Pongrass Newspaper System, News Editor fully integrates with the V6 Newspaper Database.
Remote News Desk
Remote users with available Internet connection have the same feature-set as the newsroom. Version 6 uses advanced AJAX technologies to reduce communication overheads across the network. Typical broadband users will notice no difference between remote and newsroom response times.
Advanced User Interface
A tree view displaying all newsroom desks across the enterprise is supported. User desktop settings can be extremely customised for maximum productivity, and these settings are held in the user’s login preference. News Editor styles integrate with Pongrass InDesign Plug-ins.
Picture Integration
Pictures can be attached to the article, along with captions and notes with the click of a button. Uploads take place in the background, useful when available Internet connections are slow.
Layout Aware
With the appropriate security login, users can allocate stories, pictures and story elements directly to the page. Previewing capabilities allow the user to check other page elements, ads and stories already attached to the page in real time.
