Abstract: A system and a method for publishing a newspaper page or other data through a Web page, such that the information can be made available more easily through a network such as the Internet. The data is automatically converted to the Web page format by first rendering the newspaper page into a digital format; converting the digital format to a basic internal publishing format; and then publishing the data in any one of a number of different possible publishing formats, including but not limited, a mark-up language document such as a Web page for example. The present invention supports such advanced features as arrangement of the content of the newspaper according to relationships within the information of the content and/or according to the preference(s) of the user by analyzing the newspaper page as a plurality of objects. Each newspaper object may optionally be a title, an article, a picture and/or other graphic advertisement, and so forth.
