BEST NEWS COVERAGE, WEB

1st Place: WEAU.com
2nd Place: LeaderTelegram.com
3rd Place: VolumeOne.org

Like the rest of the whole dang world, us Chippewa Vallians rely heavily on the web for our local news. When we want to know whose house burned down, who got busted with five pounds of pot whilst pulled over on I-94, or who won the Sunshine Award, we want to know now – and the web makes it happen. You voted WEAU.com as your up-to-the-minute source for local happenings, with its succinct stories and host of features from job postings to weather radar. LeaderTelegram.com came in second with its massive site, posting and updating its print stories all day long, not to mention exhaustive classifieds, state news links, and everyone’s favorite: obituaries. Our own VolumeOne.org came in third which is odd because, even though we now post all of out magazine content online, we don’t deal in the kind of newsy news this category embodies. Of course, the poll was conducted from our website, so that’s not so odd at all.  At any rate, you guys should check out Chippewa.com or AltoonaStar.org sometime. – Mike Paulus
