Editorial Production

In a challenging environment for newspapers, publishers need any advantage they can find to control costs while maintaining quality. PM81 offers that advantage with our two centralised subbing and production centres.

Advances in communication have made it a reality to be truly location-indifferent as to where pages are produced, so publishers can concentrate on generating the best content while leaving the mechanics of page make-up and subbing to us.

Your paper, to your schedule

Different publishers have different requirements. And even within individual titles, the needs may differ from section to section.

For example, for news you may prefer to keep a backdesk yourself and handle page layout in-house. While for features, you may want us to handle everything from commissioning copy and researching pictures right the way to final sign-off on pages.

PM81 can do as much or as little as you like. If all you need is down-table subbing, we can provide that. If you need a new supplement to be designed from scratch and then run completely out-of-house, we can handle that too. The choice is yours.

We organise our shift pattern and our working week to reflect the requirements of each product, ensuring that the job gets done in a timely, efficient manner. And we work closely with your staff to make sure that you're completely happy with the results.

Format pages

Collating puzzle and comic pages, or formatting data pages such as stocks and shares, is time-consuming and an inefficient use of resources for most publishers. They're pages that readers expect to see in their newspaper every day, but they don't necessarily need to be compiled on an individual basis in-house.

We can work with your existing content suppliers to ensure that your readers' favourite and familiar comic strips, crossword puzzles, word games and share prices are present and correct each day.

And, of course, PM81 offers a TV listings service tailored to your needs. For more details, click here.
