Seattle, WA - The SmallTownPapers News Service (STPNS) has become the first news service dedicated exclusively to providing wide distribution of real-time news and information from small towns across the country. STPNS offers online feeds of news and feature articles, photographs, sports statistics, vital statistics and other newsworthy information from small market newspapers content which, until now, has not been available for wide distribution.
"Newspapers from small towns have long been overlooked by media and information gathering industries such as news services because it was too expensive to gather small market news," said Paul Jeffko, president and founder of SmallTownPapers. "STPNS gives these newspapers a way to share their news and information with the world and gives consumers and organizations an easy way to access local content of interest to them."
Topix.net, LexisNexis and Newstex, LLC are among the first to sign distribution agreements with the news service. Visit www.stpns.net.
The founding company, SmallTownPapers, works with publishers of small market newspapers to digitally preserve their current and archive editions which are then made online accessible and searchable. In the SmallTownPapers collection are more than 300 titles, some of which have archives dating back to the 1800s. Visit www.smalltownpapers.com for more information.
