ORIGO + A-PRESSEN FACILITATE THE TRANSITION …


READER PARTICIPANT


Transition READER PARTICIPANT

• Participants bring more people than readers (they´re spreading their contributions (comments, images, events, blogs, etc) to their network = more readers).

• Participant - closer relation then a reader (easy for the newsroom to get in touch with the participant, can build stronger relation than a random reader. But newsroom has to give something back to the participant – attention, space in print, take them seriously)

• Participants - more info for product development (we know more about what the registered user is interested in than the random reader)

• Think of all the news stories you will miss if you don’t know what your readers/participants are interested in and talking about!


• The users publish texts, comments, pictures and events.

• All content is tagged with location.

• The users decide if the content is private or public.

• Public content can be extracted to other contexts e.g. our newspapers.

• We filter the content based on location and quality.

How Origo works


JølsterSogn og fjordane


Hello. I’m from Jølster.

I have a long story and a quick question.


Skei i Jølster 375 inhabitants


Løkagrova


This is a natural wonder!

Let’s form a 15 person large committee and figure out what to do.


The foundation of the Løkagrova committee


The celebration of

The Løkagrova Man’s discovery


225 of 375 inhabitants took part in the event


Vatnet det rann, noko mot aust og noko mot vest, Ja, slik bar det laust.


The replay of theLøkagrova man’s revelation


The result: 2 front pages in Firda 16 printed pages


Wooo - we are in the news !

Those people in Jølster alwaysthink they are something special.

But we from Fjærland are special too. Lets show them


Ja. Let’s gather all tractors in Fjærland and lift round bales!

.. and let’s put people on the bales.

A-pressen’s 50 newspapers have 470.000 subscribers

and 167.000 registered Origo-users


..... and those 167.000 users produce 7-8 times more content

than our 2.800 employees do.

5.000 stories, pictures and comments digitally each week.

30 - 40.000 stories, pictures, comments and events weekly.


The first years we used Origo to strengthen web editions.

Now we use Origo to also revitalize the print editions.


A-pressen produces approx. 300.000 print pages of editorial content a year.

1 of 10 pages will carry content that originate from our Origo-readers.
