MOLINE, Ill. – The Herald-Standard, of Uniontown, Pa., has officially launched with BLOX Total Content Management System. Total CMS, created by TownNews.com, allows newspapers to manage their print, web and mobile content all from the same system.
“Our team launched the new system on March 27 and has not looked back,” said Val Laub, publisher of the Herald-Standard. “We’re very pleased with the move to the BLOX Total CMS. The new system is much simpler and faster. This technology places the Herald-Standard in the lead for providing news and information for our readers and viewers.
“The trainers from TownNews.com were excellent.”
