Advertisers benefit from website feature

Peninsula News advertisers can now reach a worldwide market with the addition of a new feature to the Peninsula News website, according to manager Mr Cec Bucello.

"Readers are now able to view Peninsula News pages on the website in the same format as they are printed.

"For many years, we have been the only newspaper in the region to provide a comprehensive online news service.

"Now the entire paper can be read online, or printed out, as a newspaper page."

The new facility means all display advertisements appear along with the "What's On" and classified advertisement pages.

The pages of every issue published this year have been added to the website.

"As the newspaper is readily accessed worldwide through popular search engines, this could prove to be an unexpected boon for advertisers," said Mr Bucello.

"The cost of providing these additional services will not be passed on to advertisers."

Honorary editor Mr Mark Snell, a software developer, said that Peninsula News had led the field with its internet presence.

It was the first to have an email address for contributions.

It was the first to have its own website and the first to have news items online.

"We now regularly have more news items on the website than we do in the newspaper," he said.

"For example, last issue there were 14 more articles online than in the printed paper."
