Partner content: Northwind Press Tools builds for small newsrooms

Our gold sponsor on why tools for five-person newsrooms need to work on day one.

This article is partner content, produced with Northwind Press Tools, gold sponsor of the Open Newsroom Summit.

Northwind Press Tools started as a side project of two developers at a local weekly in Aarhus. Their first product was a scheduling tool for a newsroom of four people who were tired of keeping the front page plan in a spreadsheet.

Today the company serves more than 300 small and medium newsrooms in eleven countries. Its rule has not changed: a tool must be useful on the first day, without a training course or a dedicated engineer.

At the summit, Northwind will show its new corrections workflow, which lets an editor mark a correction once and have it appear on the article, in the newsletter archive and in every syndicated copy.

Visit the Northwind stand, number 14 in the exhibition area, for short demos every hour on the hour. The team will also run a workshop on Friday morning in room W3 on planning coverage with a small team.

Northwind is offering every summit attendee three months of its planning tool for free; the code is in the summit app under Offers.
