We offer a network of advanced online news services specifically designed for weekly newspapers. This service has been designed to allow your newspaper to compete with the barrage of other media today's reader and customers are exposed to.

Our complete business solution allows you to nearly automatically put your content online. No more wasting time with static HTML pages. Your website will offer a state of the art, searchable, online version of your newspaper!

What's best about the services is that it is designed to help community newspapers earn money by becoming the online advertising specialists for their community. You can reach advertising markets that have previously not advertised in your paper and you can expand the services you currently offer to advertisers.

Reach More Readers:

Newspaper readership has been on the decline for the past 30 years. This unfortunate trend has been the result of improved access to alternative media such as T. V. and Radio. The fortunate news is that urban newspapers have been able to slow (and hopefully soon reverse) that trend with the integration of online news.

Today's younger generations are more selective and their viewing habits are different. They are increasingly getting more and more of their news from online sources. What's more amazing, is that with the rise in time spent on online media there is a corresponding decline in television watching!

Our service uses a skill known as "Search Engine Optimization". This makes the site more easily readable by search engines which will help your website be found by more readers!

To encourage readers to view more news stories from various newspapers, we link stories by topics. This means a reader looking for information on "BSE" on the Smoky Lake Signal website, may end up being referred to other local newspaper stories that may interest the reader. This allows the reader easier access to the most applicable news!
