    If you read the E&P piece, you’ll see this is wrong.
    Atex isn’t a content management system – it’s a company that produces various bits of software for print and web publishing but also for advertising sales, serving and circulation.
    The E&P piece includes non-CMS products that are nothing to do with the systems being used at Johnston.

  • Thank you for your comment. I will amend the first line to make it clearer. The E&P piece does however say that the editorial content management system is being used by a number of these companies and will clarify this point.
