The Fairfax Media journey
Fairfax Media companies in Australia and New Zealand. Their portfolio includes The Australian Financial Review , The Sydney Morning Herald , The Age , Brisbane Times and The Dominion Post .
In 2017, we joined Fairfax Media as technology partners on a huge project which will see us rebuild their entire platform; creating a custom CMS based on headless WordPress, with an improved publishing workflow, and an audience facing React.js based front-end ( Both of what were being developed in-house).
This latest white paper details the story of the project, and the journey through some of Fairfax’s biggest publishing pain points.
What to expect: Project Overview
- Using WordPress to interact with other databases, APIs and integrations
- Using saved searches and programmatic image cropping to assist journalists in their workflows
- Implementing a rigorous editorial process with steps tailored to Fairfax’s media and legal requirements
- Developing a new publishing process for the modern age
