With everything happening so far in 2020, I want to give a brief update on what we are doing here at Newz Group.

As the United States grapples with the affects of COVID-19, we’ve been right there with you – adjusting to the new reality of social distancing and remote working. Over the last two months the staff at Newz Group has stepped up in the face of the pandemic, remaining constantly focused on providing excellent service while working through the adversities which have arisen during the disruption.

Remaining focused on our organization’s mission has provided our team the proper orientation and I am very proud of their zeal.

To support the press in the United States during this pandemic we announced last month that we will be providing free e-edition hosting for three months to any newspaper which needs it. We hope this helps support community journalism during this difficult time until things begin to return to normal.

Since the start of the year we have been working on rolling out an exciting new service – the Newz Radar platform. We are proud to announce our partnership with pressrelations, a media monitoring company which demonstrates the key characteristics we look for when seeking a partner. With the combination of great technology, superb staff, and valuable insights for our clients, this partnership was an ideal match with our organization.

The ability to provide the information we curate through the Newz Radar platform is an exciting opportunity for us and the amazing clients we serve. With Newz Radar clients can access media sources from across all different distribution channels and have each article integrated into a seamless monitoring portal. The portal has numerous analytic tools to provide deeper insights while still receiving the excellent customer service our clients have come to expect from the Newz Group team.

Lastly, we are launching a website update today to properly reflect the changes which have been happening to our company. You will find our expanded service offerings, new information explaining who we are and what we do, and an easier flow to our website.

Thank you for taking the time to read up on what we are doing here at Newz Group to help you find you.

For over two decades, Newz Group provides state press associations with publisher support and archiving services alongside the most comprehensive newspaper monitoring in the greater Midwest. Newz Group is the primary media monitoring source for over 1/3 of American newspapers. For more information visit: www.newzgroup.com
