Launch of the Durham News Service Website

Welcome to the launch of the Durham News Service website. It’s an amalgamation of all the stories and features readers have become accustomed to seeing, but in a different format.

The old format? Well, the problem is, news doesn’t happen once a week…it happens constantly throughout the day, every day. As news happens, DCVB will now post it to the Durham News Service Website. Readers will be able to choose the sections they want to receive in “real time” (immediately after a post occurs), in a daily digest, or once a week.

There are some brand new features on the site including a staff blog and a section where you can read clippings about Durham from local and national media. Additionally, you can access the Durham, NC Facebook page, Twitter feed, community calendar, and other Durham blogs.

A weekly “push” email will still be sent to readers for the next several months, but ideally, readers will take action and either make the site a homepage on their Internet browser, or subscribe to RSS Feeds.

DCVB has been working on this new concept to deliver news for about eight months. We’re really proud of the result, but also see some changes we want to make in version 2.0. Give it a test run…and tell us what you think.  http://www.durhamnewsservice.com/
