An easy access link to their own web site. In many cases the Chamber of Commerce does not have the ability to make immediate changes to their web site. This web page can be a supplement to what they may already have.
This is another example of how local news and information can be obtained directly from the major sources. The mayor, police department and other city agencies can report public needed information directly to special sections on the web site. These special sections can be added with no limitation. The more, the better – It gives more reason for visitors to come to the web site – More visitors = greater revenues – The officials, community and advertisers all gain.
The button is created and linked to a page for each official. Each page has its own built-in editor to upload information, including pictures and graphics. Each official can post whatever information they deem to be of public interest -- such as road closings, street repairs, school closings, accidents, police alerts, community activities, special dates, etc. They each have their own private upload code. By posting the information directly, the officials don't have to worry about editing by news departments, and posting the information directly makes the information available immediately.
This form of disseminating information is even more valuable and important in small communities where there is no daily local newspaper or television station.
