GXpress Magazine

GXpress, established as a specialist section of GXreport from 1998, takes the newspaper production process from one end to the other. GXpress is published in Australia and circulated also to New Zealand and parts of South east Asia including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, Hong Kong and the Pacific islands.

We’re focussed on technology and how it can be the enabler for opportunity in the newspaper business. Departments address Systems and Online; CTP and Workflow; Presshall; and Mailroom, as well as industry news and events. Complementary to this is a section devoted to commercial web and heatset production.

Credible, independent editorial addresses topics of interest, backgrounding — and sometimes breaking — the industry’s news.

Managing editor Peter Coleman has many years newspaper industry and production experience and writes authoritatively on the subjects which concern readers, leading a small and experienced team with a commitment to quality.

Mixed menu

Our priority commitment to our advertisers is to deliver the interest of readers, creating a lively and receptive environment for their marketing messages.

Unlike some ‘trade magazines’, GXpress isn’t full of ‘puff’ ... advertising masquerading as editorial. We write about industry players and products fairly and regardless of whether they are advertisers or not.

No masquerade

GXpress’s popular NewsLeaders supplement provides an occasional editorial-style format in which advertisers can communicate a tailored message to our readers.

NewsLeaders provides an editorial-style format in which to communicate detailed information from industry vendors. You choose the subject and emphasis in a branded page format.

Packaged presentation on the new gxpress.net website is currently included.

Design and layout is provided and we can help prepare text, thus avoiding third party agency or studio costs. Included ‘run-on’ copies of your page support the message, providing low-cost collateral for use at trade shows etc.

Where and when

GXpress is mailed to readers in Australia and New Zealand, with additional circulation to major newspaper publishers in South East Asia.

Our circulation of almost 3000 individually-mailed copies covers all major segments of the newspaper industry. Bonus distribution at industry events, especially of the NewsLeaders supplement, can almost double this.

We reach key senior staff in all departments, especially those with an interest in technology and responsibility for specifying it. Circulation also includes commercial web printers and industry suppliers.

GXpress is published four times a year with the NewsLeaders supplement in July. Issues are timed to address requirements of the events programme, typically in March, May, August and November.

Adding value

Beyond our stated commitment, the editorial format adds value to our advertiser clients’ message in a variety of ways.

Specialist editorial departments and sections reflect those in the industry and bring the latest information, providing a context for advertisers’ messages and enhance readers’ understanding of their value.

GXpress news sections and features background industry companies and people. Those that make news can be sure of a good showing.
