Boston MA, September 19, 2000~— College Publisher Inc., an e-publishing
group enabling campus
newspapers to develop interactive, online publications and eGrad, a company
dedicated to helping
the 2.5 million Americans who graduate from college each year announce that
they have joined forces to provide college newspapers with an online
publishing technology that enables schools to produce an online edition of
their paper quickly, easily, and at no cost.
College Publisher and eGrad have relationships with 75 campus newspapers in
33 states across the
US. Some of these schools include Boston University’s - Daily Free Press
http://www.dailyfreepress.com, Cornell Business School newspaper
http://www.cornellbusiness.com,
and Boston College – The Heights http://www.bcheights.com .
The College Publisher technology is a unique platform that allows editors
and publishers to
dramatically improve their online publishing process within hours of signing
up. By streamlining
the newsroom workflow and providing a web-enabled platform, College
Publisher enables newspapers to manage content, improve the site’s look and
feel, drive online advertising revenues and put the newsroom staff in
control of their online edition.
The platform caters specifically to the campus newsroom and can synchronize
with the workflow of
any media organization. Newspaper staff can now collaborate from any web
connection, submit
stories, images or web media directly through a web interface anywhere on
the globe. Editors and
staff can monitor readership statistics immediately gauging impressions,
users sessions and even
the most popular stories. The advertising manager feature allows papers to
maintain complete
control of their advertising inventories and seamlessly solicit, post and
track ads and subsequent revenues.
"Ben Jobes, Editor of Cornell Business, the student newspaper of Cornell's
Johnson Graduate School
of Management said that, "College Publisher's technology enabled us to get
our online edition up
and running in a matter of days. The response from students, prospective
students, and alumni has been great. We are thrilled at how easy it is to
manage content and interactive features, since we did not previously have
the technical resources to produce a full-service web site with archiving
capabilities."
Michael Christopher, editor in chief, Temple University’s Temple News added:
“College Publisher hasbeen great to work with. The team is highly responsive
and the technology was implemented quickly and easily and has proven to be
very reliable.”

community building to staff
management. Built-in polls and forums create interactivity for the paper and
allow staff to
moderate and observe reader feedback. The company also brings campus
newspapers together with its
content syndication engine. Schools within the College Publisher network
can now trade stories and ideas while publishing their latest edition –
providing unparalleled access to a community of
student newspaper staff.
