The SAVE Multimedia Archiving System enables news media organizations to make all current and archived text, photos, graphics, PDFs and other news elements easily available to their entire organizations, external sites and bureaus, the public and vendors. Also, SAVE’s value-added utilities, partnered with NewsBank’s comprehensive hosting, distribution and direct-to-consumer services, enable publishers to more effectively leverage their archives to generate more revenue.

Effective search and retrieval and easy content integration
With a single search, reporters and staff can easily retrieve either specific text or images or both simultaneously. SAVE offers a wide range of search and sort options, including full-text, field and date, and SAVE’s guided search feature makes searching and retrieving text and images easy for both experienced and inexperienced users. SAVE simplifies the linking of text and images, so news articles can be stored quickly with related photos, graphs and more. SAVE also enables users at any newsroom workstation to recall text and images and reuse the files in their original formats.

Support for all data types
The SAVE system accepts and processes input in any format from virtually any source. Its customized programming automatically formats data before moving it to SAVE’s editing subsystem for enhancement, and a flexible and highly effective filter minimizes or eliminates the need for manual changes before adding stories to the database. SAVE can output information in a variety of ways, including printing to dedicated or networked printers, emailing, sending to reporters’ queues or baskets on the editorial system, faxing or saving to a local disk drive. Many customers use SAVE’s ability to automatically send transmissions to vendors.

Use your archives to generate revenue
SAVE complements and extends your online initiatives by enabling you to reformat your newspapers’ information, make your archive available to the public online, populate your newspaper’s home page and distribute your archive automatically to vendors. Additionally, only SAVE and NewsBank enable you to increase revenue by including your archive in the nation’s and the world’s most comprehensive newspaper databases—America’s Newspapers and Access World News—as well as on NewsBank’s direct-to-consumer services, NewsLibrary.com and ObitsArchive.com.
