CHICAGO —
GateHouse News Service will build a special web page for the Royal Wedding that will give readers a variety of multimedia, updated content and social media tools. It will be live on all daily newspaper sites April 21. It will not be live on Wicked Local sites.
The site will feature NDN's video channel on the Royal Wedding -- which will include a live feed of the ceremony -- Twitter and Facebook plug-ins, news feeds from around the globe, tips on when and where to watch the wedding in the U.S., photo galleries and interactive maps of the wedding route. It will be updated with live content after the wedding, which begins at 6 a.m. EDT/5 a.m. Central April 29.
We will promote this page through a syndicated carousel package to daily newspapers’ sites on Thursday, April 21, and on the morning of the wedding. In addition, we will put a link to the site in those papers' navigation.
Just like with 2010’s Gulf oil spill coverage project, sites will get local page views and your homepage ads will appear on the page. The page's URL will be: www.newspaper.com/royalwedding. You will be able to add your own Royal Wedding content to the site.
We will remove the site May 2.
If you want more information, or to opt out of the site or the carousel items, contact news service editor Lisa Glowinski, 630-348-3350 or lglowinski@corp.gatehousemedia.com, by Friday, April 15.
