Why newspapers?

First let me welcome you to this website. As you can see, this is the first blog entry for the site, which I am writing about 24 hours before the official launch of the site. Needless to say, myself and the team here at Maine Web FX are excited for the launch, which we hope will in some small well help the newspaper industry come to full stride on the web.

But the question we keep getting from people (in regard to the launch) is, "why newspapers?"

It's true that we have a web design firm that runs the gamut for design and programming already. The firm does everything from e-commerce to real estate. But our passion has always been newspapers.

Starting out as a reporter at the Brattleboro Reformer in Vermont, I had my share of great stories to cover. When the excitement waned, I moved to Phoenix, where I worked for a weekly newspaper covering cops and crime before working at a daily ... covering much of the same.
