WHY DO I WANT SOMETHING LIKE THAT?
•Static content is no longer an acceptable practice for online publications•Your goal should be to provide your content in a way that your readers want to consume it, whether it be print, web, Smartphone, iPad, etc.•New revenue stream for print publications- online advertising•Allows you, the publisher, to react quicker to breaking news in your world
Ok, but I don’t want something that looks like a blog…
