Morning Call adopts
Discus
Neasi-Weber International said
that The Morning Call in Allentown, Pa., is live with its Discus circulation
software. Discus manages customer service, single-copy sales,
newspapers-in-education copies and distribution, NWI said.
The Morning Call is running
the software on a Sun Unix Oracle platform.
Other Tribune Co. properties
using Discus include the Chicago Tribune, (Baltimore) Sun, South Florida
Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale, Newsday in Long Island, N.Y., Daily Press in
Newport News, Va., and the Hartford (Conn.) Courant.
“I’ve had first-hand
experience implementing major systems in every area of our business,” said
Michael Foux, vice president of circulation for The Morning Call. “This was the
smoothest transition I have ever seen.”
Other publishers using Discus
include the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the
St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Seattle Times and the (New York) Daily News.
A number of Tribune properties
also use NWI’s Admarc app to manage advertising sales revenue, the publisher
said.
