Session description

Many higher ed publications such as alumni magazines, annual reports, and course catalogues are created for both web and print. Publishing for both web and print often introduces inefficient workflows and frustrations keeping both versions up-to-date as information is updated between the web CMS and InDesign. Learn how WordPress can be extended to serve as the center of your print publication workflow. We’ll look at how Maine Today Media was able to completely change their 4 daily newspapers to be an efficient web-first workflow that allows their print designers to easily import data directly from WordPress into InDesign for print newspaper layouts.
