The News Journal - Embrace of Technology

Embrace of Technology

The News Journal Media Group entered the Internet age in the late 1990s with the launch of Delaware Online. The website features an online edition of all local content in the paper, as well as job listings and classified ads. DelawareOnline.com was cited in a 2008 Wilkerson and Associates study as the site Delawarean's visit first for news and entertainment. More than one million unique visitors are recorded each month.

The paper began offering an online news update weekdays at 4:30 pm. The once-daily update has evolved into as-it-happens online news coverage that often results in a couple dozen news updates per day.

DelawareOnline.Com was the first newspaper in the country to offer a morning and afternoon online newscast with anchor Patty Petite. The daily newscasts have been replaced with more of a breaking news feel instead of fixed broadcast times.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.
