21.04.11 - Boyens Medien GmbH & Co. KG is a commercially and journalistically independent company located in Heide that has developed into the largest and most important media company on the west coast of Schleswig Holstein. In addition to running sheet-fed and newspaper printing presses, book and newspaper publishers, a telephone book publisher as well as an Internet agency, the family-owned company also publishes four separate daily newspapers – the "Dithmarscher Landeszeitung", the "Brunsbütteler Zeitung", "Marner Zeitung" and the "Dithmarscher Kurier" – with a total circulation of over 30,000 copies.

For the production of magazines, Boyens Medien employs the full range of products from alfa Media – as it has done for many years for its daily newspapers. The alfa Media components combined with Adobe InDesign facilitate an integrated production process for magazines. Starting with conventional planning procedures including advertisement scheduling, the building blocks for the product are created.

In the alfa NewsSuite editorial system, articles are created, delegated, placed and edited according to the organizational structure defined by Boyens Medien. These workflows have already been implemented in the production of daily newspapers and the editorial department is extremely familiar with them. The image workflow is divided into "daily newspaper quality" and "magazine quality" – ensuring that the optimum process is always offered.

The retention of established editorial procedures facilitates the optimum deployment of know-how of all aspects of Adobe InDesign. Organizational requirements not covered by Adobe InDesign are perfectly fulfilled by alfa Media.
