Pegasus News: still growing

I had the chance to talk to Mike Orrin and Alan Cohen from Pegasus News yesterday.

Expect this site to keep growing.

They said they’re getting almost as many daily website hits as The (don’t forget to capitalize that “T”) Dallas Morning News.

Of course, is that any wonder, with the Snooze’s train wreck of a website redesign? You can’t hardly find anything on there anymore, not that features like their site search worked well in the first place.

But, it’s not just because Belo is bad, it’s also because Pegasus knows what it’s doing.

Proof, on the website hits?

I have a Google News daily e-mail update with Lancaster as the key word. (Hey, either the Snooze or the StartleGram may have reports from Austin or something that get connected to Lancaster, or some federal agencies with Lancaster-related info talk only to daily newspapers. And, yes, that’s true.)

Anyhow, two of the six hits yesterday were from blog posts of mine that Pegasus has picked up.

And, they’re developing new ideas for media partnerships in the future.
