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.
Your Times weekly direct mail piece is the ideal way to extend your reach past our current subscriber base. Allows you 100% coverage of almost any community in NWI. Cost effective alternative to mailing stand alone inserts, and has a solid usage rate due to content from The Times newspaper being integrated into the piece.
Serving over 660,000 residents of NWI with so many unique interests and residents has allowed us the opportunity to take the lead in Specialty Publications throughout our Market, as well as greater Chicagoland and SW Michigan. Whether you’re looking for the perfect way to spend a lazy beach day, or wanting to know which professionals in the area are creating the next wave of noteworthy accomplishments, we have a publication that delivers.
Expanding on the idea that our users want to digest content in a variety of formats, we have expanded our content within our specialty products to include a number of websites catering to each audience that we serve (Shore, BusINess, Get Healthy)
We have xx of subscribers across all our newsletters and they show pretty solid engagement as well
We not only engage our readers/audience with our news and information, we motivate them to take action. We lead the way in getting professionals across NWI to come together to help lead the Region forward. We help companies find the perfect hire for their open position. We cater to brides and help them plan the perfect wedding. And, we have fun too, whether it’s the perfect find at our Ultimate Garage Sale, or learning a new recipe at our Taste of Home Cooking show, The Times Media Co. moves NWI!
