Hinweis der Redaktion
Nwi.com provides significant additional reach in key demographic areas when added to a traditional newspaper buy. For advertisers who are seeking more impact, more ‘bang for their buck’ in their traditional print buy it’s as easy as adding nwi.com to a schedule.
In late 2010 we started launching our hyper-local news sites (community.com sites) and currently have 20 individual sites devoted to community news. Our vision was to develop sites that would be interactive and engaging for individuals within that community. We hired Damian Rico as our community online editor who began a grass roots effort of educating and introducing these pages to civic leaders, school organizations and so many others to our sites. We really tried to promote content sharing and did many ‘lunch and learn’ type sessions to educate organizations across all our communities on how to submit content and share photos and video. Today our sites collectively represent about 48,000 monthly impressions. And our readers have submitted xxxx photos, stories and news releases every month.
