WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Readers looking to offer their own point of view and maybe even blow off a little steam on items being reported in Credit Union Journal and elsewhere can now do so on the CUJ’s new blog at www.CUSoapbox.com.
CUSoapbox.com will pull top news stories in both the financial and general media, with readers encouraged to comment on the issues of the day and will be moderated by Ron Daly, president of DigitalMailer in Herndon, Va.
According to Daly, the "Newsreel" will be a special feature of the new blog. "Someone may say, ‘I don’t know the issue of the day,’ so how do I weigh in?’ Turn to CUSoapbox.com and access its distinctive ‘Newsreel’ feature," said Daly.
Each day, DigitalMailer, which built and hosts CUSoapbox.com, will use its search engines to drag in CU stories from across the web as they publish in the associated press sites in one newsreel and break daily stories in the second newsreel from CU Journal’s site. "We want readers to be able to comment on news as it breaks," Daly said. "Blogs bring people together like no other media can and provide one more channel for credit unions to stay connected to their members. The Journal’s decision to encourage honest conversation and ‘tell-it-like-it-is’ commentary is refreshing, adding a new dimension to our industry."
