Media corporations face numerous challenges; prime among them is how to cost-effectively meet customer demand for online content. Internet customers want to see:

• Full replication of print content with easy search features
• Late breaking news and links to in-depth information
• Access to back issues and related content
• Convenient access to other relevant information

The cost of developing and managing media Web sites continues to skyrocket while revenue streams continue to fade. There is intense pressure for newspapers, magazines, radio stations, and television stations to deliver within slim budgets. Zope Corporation demonstrates ways to increase traffic, raise ad rates, and lower overall costs. Zope turns a cumbersome cost center into an efficient business.
