News service localization tip: Fourth of July travel

by Jean Hodges

Looking for a simple way to get more local content into your newspaper or on your Web site? Check out our daily GateHouse News Service localization tip of the day:

JULY FOURTH TRAVEL: Holiday travelers look to the skies -- Fewer Americans plan to travel during the Fourth of July holiday weekend for the second year in a row, but more are expected to fly than in 2008.

TO LOCALIZE: Contact AAA to find out how many people from your state are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home. What trends are officials at your local airports seeing? Which destinations are the most popular?
