Coverage gets boost in print, on line
Our View
It’s always fun to get new stuff.
Stillwater’s NewsPress has some new stuff for our readers. Maybe you’ve seen it in print and online.
In addition to more local coverage, we’ve added some “news you can use” features on our local pages and on our Web site www.stwnewspress.com
Look for Traffic Watch to make your drive to school, work and home easier. We’ll post street projects under way and their planned completion dates to help you plan your best route.
Crime Beat lets you know what felony and misdemeanor charges have been filed in Payne County District Court.
Government Watch keeps you up to date on city and county government action and meeting agendas. Education Watch is a quick glance at area board of education activity. Head of the Class introduces you to area teachers and what they bring to our classrooms.
Business Watch lets you know who is opening and who is closing. We are also adding public records including building permits to help readers keep track of what’s going on in our community. We will continue Business As Unusual to tell the stories you might not know about the businesses you know well.
We’ve added several multimedia features to our Web site. Scroll toward the bottom of www.stwnewspress.com to find an interactive calendar where you can post your public events in the community. That’s new. Let us know how it works for you.
The Web site also has “Scanner Audio” set up to allow you to monitor area emergency radio traffic from your computer. Zillow Real Estate is a movable map that helps you find property for sale.
Our news and sports coverage is being enhanced with video and slideshow presentations on line as well. And we are posting breaking news stories on our Web site throughout the day. Stay on top of Stillwater headlines by following us - StwNewsPress - on Twitter.
We all know that any time we get new stuff - whether it’s clothes, Christmas toys or news features - there comes the need to get rid of some of the old stuff to make room for the new.
In cases when that might be necessary we will make every effort to keep the old stuff our readers value most. You can help us with that by letting us know what you like and don’t like and what you would like us to add that we haven’t thought of yet. Send us an e-mail at editor@stwnewspress.com or drop us a note.
