The Cortland Standard to  install a 25 seat SCOOP pulishing system from SCS Nazareth, PA (October 6, 2008) – The Cortland (NY) Standard has purchased the Scoop Editorial System and Layout-8000™ from Software Consulting Services, LLC (SCS). A family-owned newspaper run by descendants of founder, William H. Clark, and the only newspaper published in Cortland County, the Cortland Standard has a circulation of 10,000. The paper is currently celebrating its 141st anniversary. The Scoop editorial system will replace a legacy FSI/Metz editorial system. Reporters will use ScoopEdit on Windows® workstations to write and edit story packages and move them through the editorial workflow. Adobe InDesign® will be used for pagination in conjunction with Scoop PageTrack. Layout-8000 will receive ad orders from a Vision Data order entry system and will be used to dummy the newspaper. PageTrack will then facilitate editorial ad placement by reading the page geometries from Layout-8000. PageTrack allows newsroom, production and management staff to view the pages at any time during the process. Developed by Scoop Publishware AB in Sweden, the Scoop editorial system is distributed by SCS in North America. The system features modular, scalable tools for reporting, file management, edition and page tracking, online editions, library management and other editorial needs. Publishers are free to choose InDesign or QuarkXPress® for news pagination. Layout-8000, the standard in newspaper automated advertising dummying systems, supports automatic, semi-automatic and manual ad layout design and handles complex position requirements, including page and zone requests, competing advertisers and many more
