“All Metro editions carry headline local, national, and international news in a consistent and accessible format and design, so the ability to collaborate and share content is becoming increasingly important.

Metro International is the largest and fastest-growing international newspaper in the world and has recently been awarded the accolade of 'World's Largest Global Newspaper', by Guinness World Records®. Metro International publishes 70 editions in 100 major cities in 23 countries and in 19 languages across Europe, North and South America, and Asia. Metro has a unique global reach that attracts a young, active, well-educated metropolitan audience of 23.1 million daily readers and more than 42 million weekly readers.

QuarkXPress® is used across Metro’s global network to produce 8.7 million copies of its free newspapers on a weekly basis. However, with large teams working across numerous time zones and continents, having such an extensive global reach creates its own challenges. Now with Composition Zones® in QuarkXPress, multiple users can collaborate on a single layout and instantly synchronize all text, colour, and design wherever they are in the world, enabling them to operate as a truly global newspaper. All editions of Metro across the world look exactly the same and this design consistency is achieved using Quark® Job Jackets®.
