Hometown Local Media celebrates first anniversary with more than 2.25 million page views
Hometown Local Media, Inc., the publisher of The Beaufort Tribune, The Deer Isle Chronicle, South Of The Broad and MugFaces.com is celebrating today, April 13, 2010, its first anniversary. During the past 365 days our pages have been viewed more than 2.25 million times by almost 150,000 individual persons, according to Google Analytics, the independent Internet measuring service.
The Beaufort Tribune began as a daily online hometown local newspaper on April 13, 2009, serving northern Beaufort county.
It was joined in July 2009 by The Deer Isle Chronicle, a summer-season occasional online hometown local newspaper serving remote Deer Isle, Maine, and its two communities, Deer Isle and Stonington.
In late fall 2009 South Of The Broad, a daily online hometown local newspaper serving southern Beaufort county, came on line.
Then in February 2010 MugFaces.com rolled out as a daily hometown local newspaper bringing the daily police reports covering Beaufort, Jasper and Hampton counties, South Carolina.
“Our success with these publications has exceeded our wildest expectations,” said George Trask, editor and publisher. “When we began a year ago we had the modest expectation that by now we might have accumulated maybe 200,000 pageviews. Instead we have exceed 2,000,000 and we are growing every day. What an adventure this has been.”
