News Posted As It Happens
For years now,
aviation-types have checked Aero-News Net for information they
can't get anywhere else: daily reports on what's happening on the
ground, in the air and high in orbit above the Earth. Seven days a
week, ANN publishes the very latest aviation and aerospace news.
Now, the goal is to achieve real-time status.
Aero-News is going live.
"The idea is to be even more timely," says ANN editor Pete
Combs. "When aviation news breaks, we'll be there to report it
immediately."
Publisher Jim Campbell says that means more news more often.
"Readers will get much more timely news. They'll be able to check
back several times throughout the day for new stories and updates
to existing articles. That's going to make Aero-News a lot more
valuable to the consumer."
ANN will still publish
a newsletter, ready for morning consumption. It will contain the
latest news from our overnight desk, as well as articles published
over the past 24 hours.
"That's all fine," he says, "but we really need input from
aviation news consumers about just what they want in a real-time
format. Do they want news alerts? Do they want shorter stories
during the day with a full-blown article on the subject every
morning? We're going to need reader input if we're to make this
work."
If you have a suggestion on how to better real-time
news, then ANN wants to hear from you. You can write him at publisher@aero-news.net.
"If you'd like a response, let us know," Combs says. "Otherwise,
we'll take your input under advisement so we can craft a better
news product."
