so, traditionally image storage libraries have been seperate from yoru news system now they're integrated!!! Wow! Marriage of convenience and money savings! Reduction in hardware and support
[11:08:41 AM] Chris Mintz: better integration we're such a visual society now. The media manager gives you the ability to put a little image thumb beside each story. I've yet to see any other system that can do that "asset reuse" is another term that media management solutions use where a graphic is an "Asset" typically because you've paid to have rights to show it on air or it's been created by your graphics department so store it centrally and reuse; "create once, add to ST once, use lots"Flow includes a visual media repository designed to provide you with easy, quick asset retrieval and reuse. While traditional image storage libraries existed independently from your news and broadcast systems, the Media Management module offers you fully integrated media storage library that collects and stores all of your media in a central repository for reuse. Integrated media storage means less hardware, less support, and more reuse convenience. As you add media for content, such as graphics, Flow stores them in the Media Manager, and you can reuse them over and over. For example, when you want to display a small thumbnail image beside each story topic in a zone, when you specify graphics manually for story content, those graphics are automatically added to the Media Management module. Once the graphics have been added, you can reuse them any time in future content. When you define resource tags for story graphic assets, you can pull them directly from the integrated gallery. You can access the Media Management module in Flow. From the Home page, select Flow Configuration > Media Management.  Image Added

As you upload media, Flow automatically adds the media to a centralized repository called the Media Gallery. That media is available at any time for reuse from the gallery, and you reuse the same media every time.
When prompted to add images or select logos in Flow modules, you can choose from existing media in the gallery, specify a MediaBeacon® image, or upload a file.
