The editor's web log can be used in several ways. Use it for commentaries by your editorial team. Allow comments by readers. Open the log to posts by subscribers. Set all manner of security and access privileges to suit the nature of your publication. (Comments in this log are open, but subscription management is turned off.)
Clark Internet Publishing has announced that it will support podcasting in its Journalmaker system starting in December 2006. Current and prospective users should consult their representatives now for details.
A new Podcast tool will manage content files and associated data, titles, and descriptiive elements. All the content needed to index the podcast with iTunes and other podcast sites will be handled with simple forms.
Sample: Shift Break, Northwest labor news & views
Journalmaker supports the wide world of web logs. Within the news site, the blog can be used as a guide to the rest of the contents of the magazine. It can point readers to articles, and it can be used as a "to the editor" feature in which readers can comment on articles you highlight here. Blog posts can contain a wide range of text and graphic formats, and the blog is fully integrated with the Members (subscriber) system to manage access to this and other features of the site. A preview of the blog can be placed on the home (or other) page. Using the preview system you can completely automate your home page to make it nearly bulletproof to typing and layout errors. Finally, you can provide blogs to editors, columnists, and ordinary readers.
