Outsourcing its page production in 2020 allowed San Diego Community Newspaper Group to focus more resources on sales profitability and news generation. For the San Diego Business Journal, it meant a significant savings in production expenses and a decision the weekly would easily make again.

With broad cost increases including printing, delivery and postage, more publishers are looking to savings for costs of production and design. Reliable and cost-effective page creation and print and web and production through Design2Pro are a compelling solution, and several publishers will share their reasons for making the decision to subcontract this work.

Our webinar at 2 p.m. Pacific this Thursday will explore the opportunities afforded to print publishers to cut their pre-press production costs by more than 50 percent with Design2Pro services. Case studies presented by publishers currently subcontracting page and ad design will feature prominently in the webinar.

Presenters will include Julie Main, Publisher of the San Diego Community Newspaper Group; and Barbara Chodos, Publisher of the San Diego Business Journal. Also joining will be Berl Schwartz. He has been in newspapers for more than five decades as a reporter, Washington Bureau Chief, editor, publisher and educator. He started his own weekly newspaper, City Pulse, in Lansing, Michigan, in 2001.

Joining them will be Howard Barbanel, executive vice president of Design2Pro. Founded in 2004, it’s the design hub choice for more than 300 different print and digital newspapers and magazines around the world.
