The Western Star of Posey County has spent the last several months developing a new way for people to get the information they want now. Ok, so it's not new to the world, but it is new to Posey County. Today, January 30, 2009, we, the staff of the Western Star of Posey County, are launching the county's first (and only) ONLINE DAILY NEWSPAPER! Get your news about the county every day, not just once a week! After much consideration and research, we are looking at changing the direction of the newspaper. Our goal is to effectively reach a larger audience with your information in less time and in a more cost-efficient manner. The positives far outweigh the negatives in this case. We will save a great deal of money which will be passed on to our advertisers in the form of reduced rates, while reaching more people in less time. What this means is that we are moving the paper from a once a week print publication to an online daily, meaning you will get information about the community daily through news feeds and email. We will email you a link every day to the website, or every time we add new content. You will also be notified by using the RSS Feed option (the little orange box), which notifies your email account of any new info added to the pages you select. Reasons for the change? ~Advertisers are more willing to do online advertising in this economy than print. ~The cost of printing is increasing dramatically. ~The cost of distribution is steadily increasing. ~More people <b>...</b>
