Newspaper online version of the production process and classification management

After analyzing the production process flow of the newspaper online version, we can see that the software and hardware equipment required for the production of the online version is more complex than the design of the newspaper pre-press layout. The operation is more complicated. The hardware equipment mainly includes: a network server and corresponding network equipment (which should also include a network server and corresponding network equipment connected to the Internet), a computer, a scanner, a digital camera, and the like. The required software includes: network software and computer operating systems, Internet management software, text entry software, image processing software, and web page creation software.

Through the above understanding of the newspaper pre-press layout and the online edition of the newspaper, it can be seen that when the pre-press layout and the online version of the newspaper are produced at the same time, the management of the data file is not precise enough and it is very easy to cause both. The need for data files does not match, thus affecting each other's publication quality. The impact on the newspaper's online version is most prominent. For example, the newspaper online version is not exactly the same as the text in the newspaper. This is because the original document was used in the production of the online version. In the online edition of the newspaper, a gray image appears in the area where the color image should be. This is because the image is used. The image is a processed image in the layout of newspapers, coupled with the confusion of network file management has been unable to find the original image file or no original image file at all; the newspaper online version of the web page opened very slowly on the Internet or even can not open the web page, which It is because of the use of image files that have exactly the same resolution as prepress production, and so on. In order to avoid these conflicts, strict data file management must be conducted.

III. Classified management of newspaper pre-press and online data files

The classification management of newspaper pre-press and online data files is to avoid the important means taken to avoid invoking unmatched data files, making the publication of newspapers into two independent operational processes, but they are closely linked. . For example, in the production of an online version of a newspaper, all text data and a part of the color image data in the prepress page of the newspaper can be easily called without affecting any content in the prepress page of the newspaper. That is, in the two types of production, mutual data files are called each other without affecting the integrity of the data files, and the data files having no common points are not destroyed. The easiest way to make the above assumptions is to strengthen the classification management of network data files and set the corresponding data file call permissions.

1. Unified management of original text and image files.

In the newspaper's news editing and editing network system (local area network system for newspaper publishing services), the original text and image files are those obtained by reporters and photographed. These data files can be documents that have been validated and are ready for publication. The image file must be in RGB color mode and needs to ensure that the resolution of the image meets the requirements of newspaper printing. This is because the original image file is a common file between the prepress and the online version. If it is an image file of other modes, it may not be used in the online version of the newspaper. At the same time, it may also affect the printing quality due to the low resolution of the image and the inability to meet the printing requirements.

The unified management of the original text and image files is the use of one or more network file servers in the news editing and editing network system to save and manage the original files. The access rights of the file are common to both prepress and web editions, and cannot be modified but invoked. That is to build a raw data file library in the news editing and editing system network.

2. Classified management of newspaper prepress and online data files.

Prior to the prepress layout design of newspapers, it is necessary to first enter the original data file library in the news collection and editing network system server, make accurate selection of necessary documents, and perform necessary processing on the documents. For text files, the paragraphs of the article should be reorganized first, and some unnecessary information should be deleted, which is conducive to quick typesetting of text. For image files it should be modified to the mode required by the newspaper and ensure its output resolution. For black and white or red paper, the image mode should be grayscale mode, the resolution should not be less than 200 dpi; for color newspapers, the image mode should be (NYK mode, the resolution should not be less than 300 dpi.

Processed files in the original database can no longer be stored in the original database in order to avoid being invoked when the internet version of the newspaper was created, and should be stored separately in the prepress production database. The access rights of the database can only be given to the editor for designing and producing newspaper preprints. The access rights of the database can be called and cannot be arbitrarily modified. It can also be called and modified.

Before the newspaper network edition is produced, it is necessary to first obtain the newspaper that has already been printed on that day, enter the original data file library in the news collection and editing network system server through the newspaper, make an accurate selection of the required documents, and perform the necessary processing on the documents. For text files, they should not be called from the raw data file library, but should be extracted from the preprinted typesetting file in newspapers, because the text in the newspaper prepress production typesetting file is the final written manuscript after multiple corrections. . There are two ways to extract text from the typesetting file produced by newspapers before printing: one is to open a typesetting file and copy it from an article in the layout (this method is more troublesome to use); This method is to reverse the final distribution file and extract all the text data from it (this method is relatively simple, but requires special anti-resolver software to provide support). For image files, they should be extracted from the original database and processed appropriately. The extracted image is preferably an RGB mode image unless the original image is in other modes. If other modes of the image can be changed to RGB mode, you should make changes. The resolution of the image must not be the same as the image for printing. It only needs 72 dpi. The processed image file is preferably saved in a compressed format. The size of the image file is reduced as much as possible to facilitate the quick opening of the web page.

When processing online editions of newspapers, documents that are processed in the original database and prepress typesetting documents cannot be saved in the original database and should be stored separately in the online version production database. The access right of the database can only be given to the editor for webpage production. The access rights of the database can only be called and can not be arbitrarily modified. It can also be called and modified.

After the above strict data file classification management, the production editor can call up the respective files in the corresponding file database, and it is not easy to cause the confusion of the data file calls, thus preventing the occurrence of the preprints and online version of the newspapers. Various contradictions ensure the publication quality of newspapers.
