“Postmedia and the Ottawa Citizen today unveil a reinvention of the local news business based on a “four-platform strategy” more than two years in the making.
The strategy represents a bold investment in the future at a time when many newspapers are retrenching under pressure from an industry-wide slump in ad revenue.
Postmedia CEO Paul Godfrey says the ground-breaking initiative shatters the old newspaper mold once and for all. “We are now, emphatically, a news media company: we’re going to look back years from now and say this was a critical point in the transformation of newspapers.”
That transformation begins with today’s newspaper and extends to the Ottawa Citizen’s website, its tablet and smartphone editions. The four platforms will feature news, information and ads created and designed to take advantage of the unique strengths of each medium.” .http://www2.canada.com/calgaryherald/iphone/news/latest/story.html?id=9858478
“The unveiling of the new Citizen is part of a massive, chain-wide initiative known as Postmedia Re-Imagined, which will see similar products introduced by eight of the company’s daily newspapers during the next year.” http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/meet-the-new-four-platform-citizen
“We believed we had to completely transform both the product side and the sales side of the company,” said Parrish. It means not only will Postmedia newspapers deliver on four platforms, they’ll also introduce the kind of targeted digital sales strategies offered by Google, Facebook and Twitter.” http://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/meet-the-new-four-platform-citizen
