Poland's MasterPage Publishes New Europe And World News Review
Warsaw, Poland - 19 December, 2007 Poland's first English language portal, the MasterPage, has added a Web Log covers European and World News.
This Web Log being is a focused log of events of the times that looks at the world outside the United States from many angles. Log entries review and comment on many European and World news items not often carried by main stream media. They also review major issues of the day.
The news is presented with the full recognition that journalists and newspapers are in the entertainment business. See http://pajamasmedia.com/2007/12/were_all_in_the_entertainment.php We're All in the Entertainment Industry Now. Journalists, Too!
It can be seen at Europe And World News Review
In order to expand its scope of coverage, visitors are encouraged to submit news leads. The main interest is in news stories not widely noted and technical information about health or science that people should note.
As a Web Log it records what others have said. Visitor comments on the news leads published are made directly on the respective authors' sites.
The Europe and News Review had been published in a blog format and was extremely popular. But blogs have some inherent problems with creating duplicate content, as defined by search engines, so they can cause a web site problems with search engine listings. As such, MasterPage moved the European News Review to Web Log format.
Additionally, a blog has the connotation of something rather personal in nature. The MasterPage wants to avoid that image and present news with a more objective take.
The Europe and World News Review is updated a few times daily and is published seven days per week.
The service will be available by RSS feed in early 2008 after the Christmas Holiday season is over and the requirements to supply companies interested in Polish products slows back to normal
