The Periscope Post Lead in the New News Media as Readership Increases

Aug. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- The Periscope Post – the face of online interactive media – has seen a 30% quarterly growth in its readership since its launch in May 2010 and aims to be one of the main sources of how we consume news.

The Periscope Post team’s ability to tell the story beyond the headline curates the most interesting news opinions and the site’s multiple platforms for reader involvement have been attributed to its success.

In addition to offering a political roundup of the most interesting aspects of each day’s news, Periscope also offers views from individuals, thought leaders, influential blogs, mainstream media and news organisations. Readers describe the site as a one-stop shop that saves them informed.

The recent addition of the Agora discussion forum, hosted by H.R.H Prince Pavlos of Greece and presenting selected opinion leaders’, gives readers an original outlet for interacting and discussing the current affairs leading the news.

Thomas D.Gommes, Founder and Publisher of The Periscope Post said: “The Periscope Post appeals especially to time-challenged young professionals who may not have the time to wade through over-inundating news sites yet still want to stay up to date with news commentary. It gives readers a news pasture for intelligent grazing.”

“Our website is helping shape the way modern readers absorb and interact with news and is here to stay – our continued growth supports our opinion that readers want short yet thoughtful coverage of the news and an opportunity to have their say.”
