We still have the content in the digital archives and on microfilm. We have an outstanding digital archive for internal and external use. And, soon, we will offer fully digitized pages going back more than 150 years.

What Anna meant was that when we switched content management systems in August 2007, content that had been posted online with the previous CMS was no longer accessible by the new one.

My previous comment was taken down because apparently you don’t want your bosses to know you sit on Facebook all day to chat with friends. Who actually works at the newspaper?

Seriously, someone in management needs to have the IT guys run an audit of your internet usage to see what you are doing during work hours. Get people who actually work 40 hours to help the newspaper.

Is this what the newspaper employees do all day? Sit on Facebook to check on their friends. What do your bosses think of this? People have been fired for less. Your paper/website could be a whole lot better if people like you would focus on their jobs instead of their ‘friends lives’ while on company time.

Good grief. Where are the Gatehouse executives who are supposed to manage their employees?

…..you lost the archives? Seriously? Ouch.

I thought computers were supposed to make it easier to archive and subsequently find information. Maybe the RRStar should go back to using microfiche?
