A New Online Look for the Register-Star

Columbia-Greene Media has announced that on Thursday, June 29, it will debut its "all-encompassing news website" called HudsonValley360.

Mark Vinciguerra, publisher of Columbia-Greene Media, said of the new website: "HudsonValley360.com is a clean, well-designed website using the latest technology. We're the second newspaper in the world to go live on this completely new [Drupal] platform. It's got the ability to do more, it has quicker load times, it has a better look--as far as cleaner look, its features include video and photo galleries that load faster and look crisper. For us, that means we're going to tell stories in a different way. It allows us to do more multimedia storytelling."
  
Vinciguerra continues, "We are taking a more regional approach to our coverage. The idea is to expand our audience, which, right now, is 200,000-plus unique visitors, consuming over 1.2 million pages per month. We're the biggest media entity in the Twin Counties and HudsonValley360.com will help us expand on that."

Interestingly, in 2014, the population of Columbia County was 62,122 and population of Greene County was 47,967.
