Zurich/Schwarzach (LCG) – The Russmedia Solutions Team worked for eleven months from concept to implementation to set up the new FM1Today portal for the FM1 radio station belonging to the NZZ Media Group. A total of ten associates from the fields of software development, project management, IT, marketing, consulting, editing and SEO formed the task force for the new regional Switzerland news portal. The news app based on WordPress ist optimised for hyperlocal content and guarantees streamlined editorial processes. FM1Today is moderated by a convergent editorial staff, who, in the new St Gallen Newsroom, draw together the threads of TV, Radio and online services, thus providing multimedia diversity.
Project manager Caroline Thoma is a member of the regional media executive board in the NZZ Media Group. She says the decision for Russmedia Solutions was based on the company’s wide-ranging expertise. “The potential of intensive exchange in technology, marketing and sales thoroughly convinced us. As publisher, Russmedia offers the perspective of a cooperative further development in the digital applications, and contributes comprehensive expertise to the editorial system based on open source technology.”
Russmedia digital managing director Gerold Riedmann comments on the successful realisation of the project: “Together with the FM1Today team we have amassed a great deal of inspiration that will flow into the further development of the portal. And our own portals such as VOLAT and VIENNA.AT are profiting from the shared knowledge we have gained.”
