Page Planning
Creating a newspaper from scratch each day takes a lot of careful planning. Page Planning positions all the advertisements and allocates space to the newsroom using precise formulas. Their job includes determining the size of each section, color placement, and, in conjunction with the pressroom, the press layout for each press run.
