LOVELAND, OH, March 18, 2008 - The

of the work of Palm Beach Post and the due
recognition they received from the NAA Digital Edge
Award Committee. The Local Shopping Channel at the
Palm Beach Post sets the standard for how the
newspaper industry can drive both online traffic and
revenue. With the hundreds and hundreds of sites
that were reviewed for this award and to think that
our products and services were behind the site in
this category that was selected, frankly we are
extremely proud of that. We are honored to have
played a part in the design and delivery of the

providing the technology behind their industry
leading online shopping channel. We are very focused
on driving online revenue and getting as many

success. The NAA Digital Edge Award specifically
