The strength of a newspaper archive lies in the fact that newspaper articles,
whatever their shortcomings of narrative or interpretation at the time, remain unchanged and do not suffer from revision
of their content and blurring with the passage of time. Newspaper archives represent the essential source material for
social scientists and historians seeking to build an accurate appreciation of the time in history in which they were
written.

Alistair Brown
Managing Director of Scotsman.com |
Seventy percent of our users are from academic institutions or businesses. I had
one academic who had been working in the newspaper library on some aspect of Scottish history who said he got more done
in one morning than he had in the previous 10 years.
|
Clay Carson
Director of Information Systems, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette |
Olive Software has continued to be THE leader in archiving solutions. As a newspaper
user, we go to a lot of trouble to sell ads and layout our packages. That information is relevant to the archive and Olive
Software provides the only usable means to preserve that information.
|
Chris Kouba
Director of Content and Strategic Development, Virginian-Pilot Interactive Media |
The digital-replica edition is an important benefit for many Virginian-Pilot
subscribers, and it rounds out our online strategy by adding a premium product. Olive Software provides us with one of the
first and most flexible solutions for producing daily and archived electronic editions.
|
Dean Leith
Information Services Manager, Fairfax Media |
We chose Olive as they had the functionality we needed, a great reputation, and have
been chosen by our colleagues at other leading international newspapers.
|
Pam Snelson
College Librarian, Franklin & Marshall College |
The digital College Reporter will appeal to both student and local researchers —
anyone who wants to know about college issues and culture at the end of the 20th century. As we add additional years of
coverage its value will increase exponentially.
|
Debra A. DeJonker-Berry
Library Director, Provincetown Public Library |
The Staff at Olive Software helped facilitate a complex project with helpful
suggestions, thorough knowledge of the product and the technology and excellent follow through. We choose Olive Software
because of its ease of use for the patron and it comprehensive package of searching, viewing and printing options.
|
Robin Wagner
Library Director, Gettysburg College |
Preservation was a key driver for our Olive project, as was ease of access.
We’ve been a 24/7 library for over a decade, but digitizing our student newspaper archive has allowed us to
provide access anytime, anywhere, to a larger number of users than the print or microfilm could.
|
Jill M. Koelling
Executive Director Collaborative Digitization Program |
Olive is a great company. They make getting Colorado’s historic newspapers online feasible and affordable.
|
Sue Kellerman
Penn State University Libraries’ Judith O. Sieg Chair for Preservation and Head, Preservation Department |
The success of our digitization
project is largely attributed to the power of the Olive software.
As a tribute to the intuitive nature of the software and the ease-of-use
of the interface, participants were searching on their own in a matter
of minutes.
|
Chris Christian
Vice President of Circulation, Kansas City Star |
Our e-Star edition meets the needs of customers who want a portable, electronic platform
for reading today’s paper while maintaining the familiar design and organization of the printed product.
|
R. Jack Fishman
President, Lakeway Publishers |
At the end of the day it’s all about the reader! We pride ourselves on
offering a cafeteria of services to accommodate their wants and needs. Olive will allow a full compliment of tools
to both readers and advertisers, not to mention consolidating newly digitalized microfilm with archive and replacing
a separate GMTI system.
|
Hays Goodman
Webmaster, Conley Media |
We attribute our success to several factors. Electronic version is free to print
subscribers, something our competition doesn’t offer. Finally, e-edition allows us to include additional pages
that did not make it into the newspaper, while still producing an ABC compliant product.
|
Sharon Mandell
Vice President of Technology, Knight Ridder |
The electronic replica edition helped us to provide up-to-date information in a look and feel that our readers trust and rely upon.
|
Lila Fladwood
NIE and Community Relations Coordinator, the Idaho
Press-Tribune |
The electronic edition newspaper spreads benefits across the school community.
Students love etrib because it provides them easy access and robust search. The newspaper staff loves it, because they
can deliver to readers despite inclement weather and equipment malfunctions.
|
Jonathan Kirkcaldy
Senior Systems Administrator, The Jamaica Observer |
On a monthly basis our website gets more unique users than the population of Jamaica.
Based on these statistics, we were seeking a delivery method that would both provide our readers with news in a format that
they prefer and reach them abroad with fresh and relevant information, while at the same time preserving the look and feel
of the traditional newspaper. Olive ActivePaper Daily delivered just that.
|
Bernie Gitt
Director of Circulation Consumer Relations Denver Newspaper Agency |
The advanced technology provided by Olive Software is the exact solution we were
looking for to present electronic editions of both The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News as an alternative to printed
editions. User experience comments with the Olive solution have been favorable, as we grow our base of electronic edition
subscribers.
|
Karen Anderson
Executive Vice President, Investor’s Business Daily |
It’s very challenging getting the paper to all areas of the country, so the
digital edition is ideal for people in remote areas. Our population is becoming more computer savvy and we have readers who
prefer reading the digital edition.
|
Courtney Ratcliffe
General Manager, The Southampton Press |
Olive’s solution also provides a unique means of allowing display advertisers
to extend their reach. Our staff loves the look and feel of the exact replica, but it is the functionality of the archive,
the cost and time savings that the product offers, that are the most appealing features to us.
|
John Cary
Senior Director of Online Operations for the Sun-Times News Group |
We were looking for new ways of delivering news. Olive provided the right medium
for distributing our electronic edition. Olive’s flexible model allowed us to outsource production to the
organization’s staff and gain a new electronic product without any capital investment was a major selling
point.
|
Mindy M. Hull
Director of Education—the Americas, Financial Times |
The launch of the FT Electronic Edition has given us a viable way to deliver our
content to remote markets around the world. Olive’s unique software has helped the FT go further by allowing us
to successfully meet the growing needs of our clients and readers while growing revenue and circulation at the same
time.
|
Gary Fletcher
Project Manager, Lake Charles American Press |
The value of the digitization is undeniable. The prospect of being able to retain
history as captured by the hometown newspaper for posterity is important in itself, however, coupled with the value as an
internal resource, and it makes the project so much more desirable.
|
Randy Craig
Inland's publications director |
We are in the business of delivering practical knowledge for improving newspapers,
and Olive's interactive features such as article clipping, print function, and archive capabilities provide a sophisticated
alternative to a simple PDF that we have employed in the past.
|
Rick Lerner
President, Clickshare |
The integration between technology solutions has long been successfully
tested; however, the joint offering is a new and exciting opportunity for newspapers to quickly monetize on their
digital content. Clickshare would enable Olive customers to provide online registration, subscription and payment
(credit card and checks) processing, recurring billing, authentication, and purchasing of individual items, memberships
and website access.
|
Chris Noble
Sr. Director of Production, ESPN The Magazine |
Olive’s digital delivery method has served us well over the past two years. The
ESPN e-edition helps us drive sales from the Insider premium paid content package and extends the ESPN brand as a part of a
broader online strategy designed to increase both online and print revenues. We are pleased with the realistic representation
of our print product online, and intend to leverage Olive’s XML-based technology into creating an ESPN The Magazine
searchable archive to better serve our readers.
|
Debra Mamorsky
Voices founder and editor-in-chief, Voices |
Because our publication is an international forum in which 17-25 year olds as far
away as China, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Holland, Morocco, and elsewhere share their voices, we needed to find a delivery
system that offered easy access to our interactive magazine and provided an innovative format. Olive created that
for us!
|
Thomas Johnsen
Sales & Marketing, Handelsbladet FK |
We are proud and very satisfied being the first Nordic newspaper using Olive’s
ActiveMagazine system every week.
|
Bill O’Brien
Operations President for Reed Business Information |
Our ePublishing agreement with Olive Software benefits both our subscribers and
advertisers alike. Subscribers now have more choice in delivery formats, and international subscribers in instantaneous
delivery of our magazines. Advertisers benefit through direct links to their websites and increased ad awareness with the
use of rich media ads.
|
Dave Morris
Publisher of Sports Illustrated |
The online version of Sports Illustrated On Campus enables us to expand the
magazine’s reach beyond the more than 70 campuses that currently receive it each week. It also allows us to
connect with college sports enthusiasts of all ages in a timely and efficient manner.
|
