300 newspaper titles automated
Using web technologies for print production, about 300 newspapers are now automated on an ongoing basis. Get in touch with sales@aptoma.com to find out more.
Automated newspapers are produced in the same high quality you are used to, as the European Newspaper of the Year award for regional newspapers award to Bergens Tidende is a testament to.
