Xitranet© 'LocalNEWS Supa-Sites' are ideal for Regional & Local Media organizations looking for a way to leverage their existing systems & media product into the internet market.

Introduction :
The ‘LocalNews Publishing Platform’ is a suite of interlinked web based software packages, operated by us in conjunction with an established ‘Local Media Partner’ (LMP) who wishes to enhance their existing media product by adding both an internet news delivery system & a range of new, local ‘User’ orientated, internet based services.

How Does ‘LocalNews’ Work ?

1. 1. By displaying locally relevant content to ‘Users’ via an internet connected Desktop PC, Tablet PC or modern Smartphone.
   2. By allowing approved ‘Users’ to act as 'Reporters' & create relevant 'Local News' content.
   3. By allowing subscribing ‘Advertisers’ to Create their own ‘News’ & Advert content.
   4. By ensuring that our ‘Local Media Partner’ has total control over the publication / release of both ‘User’ created ‘News’ & ‘User’ submitted ‘Advertising’ material.

For The Public :

The general public ( ‘Users’ ) have shown by their uptake of services such as ‘Facebook’, ‘Twitter’& ‘Youtube’ that they have a great interest in ‘News Creation’ (Both ‘Personal’ or ‘Commercial’) & that they have mastered the tools necessary to do the job ( Use of their ‘Smartphone’ & PC ! ). The Xitranet 'LocalNEWS' website allows approved Users to act as 'Citizen Reporters' & create their own 'News Stories' (All uploaded 'News Stories' must be approved by an 'Editor' before publication).

For The Advertiser :

For ‘Advertisers’, ‘News’ means important ‘Time Critical’ information which is directly related to their commercial activities and of high value to interested ‘Users’ ( Eg : When you need a Fridge fast you want to know what’s available today & where to go to get it right now ! ). The Xitranet 'LocalNEWS' website allows subscribing 'Advertisers' to upload their own 'Banner Adverts' & create their own commercial 'News Stories' (All uploaded 'News Stories' must be approved by an 'Editor' before publication).

For The Publisher :

Xitranet's 'LocalNEWS' website is based around the concept of 'Job Roles' - job types that will be familiar to all local & regional publishers and which mirror traditional media tasks.

1. Editor Role : Edit & approve all 'News Stories' & 'Editorial Special Features' quickly via the websites 'Frontend'.
2. Journalist Role : Create automatically formatted new stories for multiple 'Categories' in the 'Frontend' (Cut & Paste content & images from other sources into 'News Stories' or create original content).
3. Advert Supervisor Role : Organize, publish & un-publish User supplied 'Banner Advert' content via the 'Frontend' (Upload 'Banner Adverts' into website 'Advert Zones', link to externally stored 'Banners Adverts' etc).
4. Accounts Role : Review & process 'User Subscriptions', Add / Remove 'Account Customer' status, amend 'Subscription rates & durations' etc.
