Journal Register Co. said it is expanding its use of Atex content management software across 44 newspapers and 108 users in Connecticut.

The deployment means that more than 65 JRC newspapers and more than 250 users will have access to the app, Atex said.

JRC is hosting the app at its data center in New Haven, Conn.

“Building clustered editorial and advertising systems is the cornerstone of the Journal Register Co.’s philosophy,” said Al Mailman, JRC’s senior vice president of technology. “This approach makes it easier for our newspapers to share content, and it reduces the duplicated costs and efforts that are commonplace with separate, disparate systems at individual newspaper sites.”

The content management software is based on Adobe Systems Inc.’s InDesign and InCopy apps and is accessed either by an Atex browser-based client or Citrix terminal software.

Meantime, Stars and Stripes said it would roll out the Atex content management Web app to 132 users worldwide in a deployment to be completed next March.

The software will be used by staffers in Washington, D.C., Europe, Asia and the Middle East, Atex said.

Finally, Atex said Pacific Newspaper Group of British Columbia, Canada, which publishes the Vancouver Sun and The Province, went live on its advertising software. PNG implemented 75 advertising seats between the two dailies.
