Newspaper Clippings

Newspaper Clippings:
Traditional Newspaper Clippings: (regional service only):
This service is our traditional newspaper clipping service where Magnolia would mail articles to you every Thursday through regular First Class Mail. You will be billed at the end of each month. Articles can be clipped from daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly publications including newspapers, magazines, business journals, etc.

As an enhancement to your newspaper clipping service, you may elect to have your clippings scanned and delivered on Digitally and/or on CD-ROM. With this service, we will scan and mail all of your clippings each week and mail your disc with the final mailing of the month. Clippings may be searched, printed and emailed directly from the disc. Many clients value their permanent clipping archive. Many of those that subscribe to this service prefer us to keep their clips in our office and simply upload or mail them the CD Weekly or at the end of the month. In addition Magnolia will also permanently keep a back-up archive copy of your disc.

Bid Reports

Every day as the newspapers are delivered to our offices, a legal notice specialist extracts every legal notice on its first publication. Second and Third publications of the same legal notice are not extracted again. These legal notices are scanned, and put through an OCR process where they are converted to text. They are entered into our database where they are given one or more categories. (For example if a bid is for a new city water tank then that bid would be flagged with a “water tank” category).

Each client has their own custom search profile. This client profile contains information on each client as well as a list of categories that is specific to that client. In addition to categories each client may have as many specific keywords as needed to properly cover their requirements.

Every afternoon our custom program tries first to match legal notice categories with those categories that are listed in the client’s profile. Next if a legal notice did not match by category then the program searches for key word matches. All matches are delivered by email in .pdf format each afternoon.
