Correspondents writing for French daily Le Télégramme will be given controlled access to a new digital workflow for its print and online editions.

The publisher, based in Brittany in northwest France, is France's sixth largest regional with a daily circulation of 200,000 copies, a web edition and mobile and tablet apps, as well as two local TV stations.

As part of a strategic reorganisation of its newsroom and technology, EidosMedia's Méthode publishing platform is being implemented, allowing print and online products to be generated from a single digital workflow accessible from the central newsroom in Morlaix and local offices located throughout the region.

Journalists outside the newsroom will also use mobile and tablet apps to create and file multimedia news articles from any location with a network connection, and external contributors to be given controlled access to the workflow for a more efficient collaboration than the usual exchange of emails.

The print newspaper is produced in 19 different editions, with different editorial and advertising content, and these variations will be created and managed using Méthode's multi-edition management space, accessible from all editorial locations and trackable using mobile apps from outside the newsroom.

Chief executive Edouard Coudurier says significant gains in efficiency and productivity are expected from the integration process: "Méthode offered us the combination of power and flexibility we were looking for."

The platform will serve around 240 journalists located at the paper's main newsroom and in local offices around the region.
