An Open Letter to Our Viewers

We've been busy here at WWN. We continue to tweak & test our site and later this Spring you can look for some major design and content changes. But we've got great things that we've added right now:

The Legislature is in session and on top of that - it's an election year. Our Legislative News page (4th tab down on toolbar) is something completely new that we don't believe has ever been done before. This page contains a Twitter feed of tweets not only from WWN but also news sources and legislative members right at the State Capitol. Now folks here in Winston County or across the state, can continually monitor the activity during the session. WWN screens the tweets for content (no flagrant campaigning or name - calling) and will post links to bills or further news stories.

For those unfamiliar with Twitter - posts must be short but can contain links to news stories, websites, video & photos. It's a great headline generator and posts are almost immediate. -- And the great thing about WWN's Feed is that you don't have to follow anyone or even have a Twitter account - Just check out our page several times a day. If you know of an area legislator or news source that tweets, let us know and we will continually add them to our feed.

Also*** you will see a series of video stories over the next few days from Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley's town hall meeting right here in Louisville on Thursday night. He presented a great deal of information that almost any consumer can use and we have edited his remarks into short videos that will be posted in the News Links section of our home page on a regular basis over the next several days (next post will be Monday). Topics include a Rate payers Bill of Rights, Cell Tower coverage in Winston County, Spoofing, Cramming, the Kemper coal plant and more. The first video is online now.

We know that we have a long way to go to provide more coverage of Winston County. We advance as time & money allow. You can help also by:
