BRIEF OF THE NEWS STORY: IDEA 
The depletion of the editorial office - Reason itself cannot ignore the issue of technology. The tendency, 
currently gaining foothold, is that of depletion, of emptying out: following the disappearance of traditional 
records and the CD, now even bookstores are becoming a superfluous presence while at the same time our 
purses are ever more frequently unburdened of their credit and membership cards and replaced by 
contemporary techniques of mobile payment. Journalism itself, if it is to renew and enrich itself, has no 
option but to yield to current trends and set editorial offices free. Needless to say, such depletion is 
selective. It bears no relation to a reduction of members of personnel. Journalists return to wherever news 
is generated, equipped with cameras, smartphones and tablets (notebook on request) to get in touch with 
the graphic department, video editors, web developers, interaction designers and art directors - the eye itself 
has its role here. This team of technicians and creatives, in real terms the new occupants of the editorial 
office, has the capacity and expertise to translate worthwhile information into current common language, a 
language that is increasingly visual, ripe for on-the-go consumers of lightweight news. The orchestra is 
under the direction of a group of watchdogs, influential journalists with the task of tracing out guidelines 
for the hypertext and safeguarding it from any possible nonconformity with their decrees, since the end 
justifies the means yet the means must serve the purpose of the effective transmission of the news. 
Transversal versus Vertical - The main focus of the subject still deals with the various forms of technology 
and with readers, yet the issue drifts from supporting factors to the system itself. Internet’s propagation has 
broken ties with virtual integration upon which the traditional models of the media have always been 
based. Nevertheless it is inconceivable to deprive readers of their newspapers since technology has 
accustomed them to be active protagonists, to generate contents. The prodigious diffusion of the social 
media also calls for a certain reflection: from the standpoint of the publisher the discourse is no longer 
with the readers but with readers who communicate with one another and this factor can only modify the 
functioning of the enterprise itself. Given this state of affairs the opportunities available to clientele are 
insufficient. It is essential to combine the instrumental function of an authoritative news channel with 
specific social strategies. Starting out from a sound benchmark analysis of major information portals and 
the most widely used social network by zealous readers, one can proceed to the creation of a platform 
which filters out the best possible solution. The objective is allow users to access information in a relational 
manner within a single, user friendly, structured channel. On the other hand, account should be taken of
the advantages deriving from the opportunity to accurately seek out the profiles of their readers. From the 
perspective of new trends, from citizen journalism to crowd funding, the call to action may be interpreted 
in terms of those periodicals which give readers the opportunity to present editorial staff with topics 
befitting the more in-depth coverage of investigative journalism. The most attractive proposals are taken in 
hand by journalists who are consequently given the opportunity to access an abundance of ideas for the 
development of new stories in accordance with the expectations of their readers. 
Fresh from the press - Even the rotary press was considered, in the nineteenth century, a state-of-the-art 
piece of technology. When speaking of journalism it would be presumptuous to gloss over its historical 
background. Paraphrasing Bogart: “It’s the press, baby”. The question is whether it is still reasonable to 
cling to anachronistic industrial models. Traditional papers and magazines are feeling the consequences of 
the economic recession, a recession which has brought about drastic cuts in advertising revenue. The 
traditional press, therefore, is destined to wither away since information has increasingly become the 
domain of alternative platforms. We are passing through an intermediate period where two editorial 
systems (analogical /digital) cohabit, the analogical strives to exist by clinging to the digital which repels 
any hope of integration. Awaiting the rise of the digital generation which will take the place of those who 
have been accustomed to the paper format, the great publishing companies are duty bound to guide readers 
in their migration towards the digital universe. Given the almost total futility of newsstand papers brimful 
of yesterday’s news outdated and upstaged by the overwhelming flood of online and television 
information, the challenge to the press is to be taken on in terms of critical interpretation and explanation 
of events. It is not a question of an innovative idea or a smart gimmick but rather an attempt to weave 
together pieces of a mosaic in an orderly, rational manner. Never as before is it so crucial to look ahead 
with a certain lucidity, without losing sight of the inherent dangers of informatics totalitarianism which 
might wreak havoc by generating an indistinct jumble of information thus creating the daunting task of 
identifying the genesis and significance of single events. Successful will be those who produce reliable and 
editorially high quality contents and present their work to their readers with the most appropriate means. 
THE BEST POSSIBLE BREIF IN THE SHORTEST TIME 
Given that every situation has its unique features which should be examined in detail, generally it is akin to 
the system of Chinese boxes. Once established that the content is the king, the success of this supremacy 
depends on how information is put together and then conveyed. In the face of a radical revolution which 
transforms the editorial world even more liquid, the real advantage consists in the flexibility of the new 
sources of information which may be categorized according to user support and the degree of literacy and
involvement of the last in the line of users. Traditional newspapers make room for new organisms open to 
diverse methods of communication. The proposed system of communicating vases opens us a passage from 
optimized contents for light reading, suitable for both new readers and on-the-go readers, to the real body 
of the text concealed beneath the graphic surface. This second level of reading, suitable for more specialized 
users, is open to further leeway as regards contents and ranging from personalization to interaction. As 
may be seen, this is a strategy focused on the user/reader, the real recipient of the content/information, or 
specifically the decisive factor in determining the success of the enterprise. Parallel to the order of the 
recipient, journalists are also evaluated by a restoration which announces them as leading protagonists in 
the narration and interpretation of events, freed from the shackles of the press release, headline news and 
desk work. In addition, the streamlining of space used by the editorial office, in reality occupied by a 
multimedia team, allows for the saving of resources with a significant impact on costs. Despite the 
complexity of the explanation, the model of journalism propose here may illustrate a more simplified, 
ecological industry and a far cry from the current system which today is in a state of crisis. The new 
publishing sector will be based on a more artisan-orientated production managed by a few employees with 
a flair for the value of contents. Everything will be on a small scale and the administrative area, overgrown 
over the last decade, will be reduced to a minimum. How long will it take to get change underway? From 
the practical standpoint, a short time. The more evolved companies are already equipped with the 
necessary means to implement the change – tools for analysis and technical know-how. There are however 
diverse variables which might induce a certain caution: the wide ranging penetration of mobile technology, 
the effective assimilation of new behavioral models, the rise of a young and far-sighted managerial class. 
Reflecting upon the significance of the changes which have taken place over the last five years, 2018 might 
well be a realistic forecast. One must try and then believe.

  • 2. Milano, May 2013 BRIEF OF THE NEWS STORY: IDEA The depletion of the editorial office - Reason itself cannot ignore the issue of technology. The tendency, currently gaining foothold, is that of depletion, of emptying out: following the disappearance of traditional records and the CD, now even bookstores are becoming a superfluous presence while at the same time our purses are ever more frequently unburdened of their credit and membership cards and replaced by contemporary techniques of mobile payment. Journalism itself, if it is to renew and enrich itself, has no option but to yield to current trends and set editorial offices free. Needless to say, such depletion is selective. It bears no relation to a reduction of members of personnel. Journalists return to wherever news is generated, equipped with cameras, smartphones and tablets (notebook on request) to get in touch with the graphic department, video editors, web developers, interaction designers and art directors - the eye itself has its role here. This team of technicians and creatives, in real terms the new occupants of the editorial office, has the capacity and expertise to translate worthwhile information into current common language, a language that is increasingly visual, ripe for on-the-go consumers of lightweight news. The orchestra is under the direction of a group of watchdogs, influential journalists with the task of tracing out guidelines for the hypertext and safeguarding it from any possible nonconformity with their decrees, since the end justifies the means yet the means must serve the purpose of the effective transmission of the news. Transversal versus Vertical - The main focus of the subject still deals with the various forms of technology and with readers, yet the issue drifts from supporting factors to the system itself. Internet’s propagation has broken ties with virtual integration upon which the traditional models of the media have always been based. Nevertheless it is inconceivable to deprive readers of their newspapers since technology has accustomed them to be active protagonists, to generate contents. The prodigious diffusion of the social media also calls for a certain reflection: from the standpoint of the publisher the discourse is no longer with the readers but with readers who communicate with one another and this factor can only modify the functioning of the enterprise itself. Given this state of affairs the opportunities available to clientele are insufficient. It is essential to combine the instrumental function of an authoritative news channel with specific social strategies. Starting out from a sound benchmark analysis of major information portals and the most widely used social network by zealous readers, one can proceed to the creation of a platform which filters out the best possible solution. The objective is allow users to access information in a relational manner within a single, user friendly, structured channel. On the other hand, account should be taken of
  • 3. the advantages deriving from the opportunity to accurately seek out the profiles of their readers. From the perspective of new trends, from citizen journalism to crowd funding, the call to action may be interpreted in terms of those periodicals which give readers the opportunity to present editorial staff with topics befitting the more in-depth coverage of investigative journalism. The most attractive proposals are taken in hand by journalists who are consequently given the opportunity to access an abundance of ideas for the development of new stories in accordance with the expectations of their readers. Fresh from the press - Even the rotary press was considered, in the nineteenth century, a state-of-the-art piece of technology. When speaking of journalism it would be presumptuous to gloss over its historical background. Paraphrasing Bogart: “It’s the press, baby”. The question is whether it is still reasonable to cling to anachronistic industrial models. Traditional papers and magazines are feeling the consequences of the economic recession, a recession which has brought about drastic cuts in advertising revenue. The traditional press, therefore, is destined to wither away since information has increasingly become the domain of alternative platforms. We are passing through an intermediate period where two editorial systems (analogical /digital) cohabit, the analogical strives to exist by clinging to the digital which repels any hope of integration. Awaiting the rise of the digital generation which will take the place of those who have been accustomed to the paper format, the great publishing companies are duty bound to guide readers in their migration towards the digital universe. Given the almost total futility of newsstand papers brimful of yesterday’s news outdated and upstaged by the overwhelming flood of online and television information, the challenge to the press is to be taken on in terms of critical interpretation and explanation of events. It is not a question of an innovative idea or a smart gimmick but rather an attempt to weave together pieces of a mosaic in an orderly, rational manner. Never as before is it so crucial to look ahead with a certain lucidity, without losing sight of the inherent dangers of informatics totalitarianism which might wreak havoc by generating an indistinct jumble of information thus creating the daunting task of identifying the genesis and significance of single events. Successful will be those who produce reliable and editorially high quality contents and present their work to their readers with the most appropriate means. THE BEST POSSIBLE BREIF IN THE SHORTEST TIME Given that every situation has its unique features which should be examined in detail, generally it is akin to the system of Chinese boxes. Once established that the content is the king, the success of this supremacy depends on how information is put together and then conveyed. In the face of a radical revolution which transforms the editorial world even more liquid, the real advantage consists in the flexibility of the new sources of information which may be categorized according to user support and the degree of literacy and
  • 4. involvement of the last in the line of users. Traditional newspapers make room for new organisms open to diverse methods of communication. The proposed system of communicating vases opens us a passage from optimized contents for light reading, suitable for both new readers and on-the-go readers, to the real body of the text concealed beneath the graphic surface. This second level of reading, suitable for more specialized users, is open to further leeway as regards contents and ranging from personalization to interaction. As may be seen, this is a strategy focused on the user/reader, the real recipient of the content/information, or specifically the decisive factor in determining the success of the enterprise. Parallel to the order of the recipient, journalists are also evaluated by a restoration which announces them as leading protagonists in the narration and interpretation of events, freed from the shackles of the press release, headline news and desk work. In addition, the streamlining of space used by the editorial office, in reality occupied by a multimedia team, allows for the saving of resources with a significant impact on costs. Despite the complexity of the explanation, the model of journalism propose here may illustrate a more simplified, ecological industry and a far cry from the current system which today is in a state of crisis. The new publishing sector will be based on a more artisan-orientated production managed by a few employees with a flair for the value of contents. Everything will be on a small scale and the administrative area, overgrown over the last decade, will be reduced to a minimum. How long will it take to get change underway? From the practical standpoint, a short time. The more evolved companies are already equipped with the necessary means to implement the change – tools for analysis and technical know-how. There are however diverse variables which might induce a certain caution: the wide ranging penetration of mobile technology, the effective assimilation of new behavioral models, the rise of a young and far-sighted managerial class. Reflecting upon the significance of the changes which have taken place over the last five years, 2018 might well be a realistic forecast. One must try and then believe.
