BLOX Digital and SCS partner for automated newspaper pagination

BLOX Digital and SCS have formed a strategic partnership that will bring SCS' Automated News Production (ANP) platform to BLOX Digital's publisher clients. The collaboration combines BLOX Digital's AI-powered content management system (CMS) with SCS' automated pagination technology. The goal is to help publishers accelerate the production of print editions and improve consistency, while freeing up editorial staff to focus on journalism rather than page assembly.

The partnership addresses the growing need for efficiency in newsrooms operating with leaner staffs and tighter deadlines. The integrated solution from BLOX Digital and SCS enables content to be automatically flowed into newspaper pages, significantly reducing the manual effort traditionally required.

"Our media industry partners have told us they need to do more with fewer resources without sacrificing quality," said Brad Ward, CEO at BLOX Digital. "Partnering with SCS allows us to provide publishers with an automation solution that accelerates production while preserving the editorial judgment that makes every newspaper unique."

SCS' Automated News Production (ANP) integrates directly with BLOX Digital's workflows. This allows editorial teams to continue working within familiar processes while automation handles much of the mechanical work involved in assembling pages. This approach helps publishers shorten production cycles and meet increasingly compressed press deadlines.
