Merger Aims For “Rich Diet Of Multimedia”

Newsquest has announced that its Glasgow titles are set to merge their online operations this year as part of a £1m makeover.

The new digital venture for the Herald, Sunday Herald and Evening Times aims to provide a greater range of multimedia offerings, from video interviews to podcasts and slideshows.

According to Holdthefrontpage.co.uk, increasing interaction with users is also high on the agenda for the joint site.

“We can significantly grow the audience for our excellent journalism by taking full advantage of the technologies available,” said newly appointed online editor, David Milne.

He added: “We aim to be fast and authoritative on breaking news, have a rich diet of multimedia content and offer users the most comprehensive and compelling ideas and debates platform in Scotland.”
