September 06, 2005Online to the World"Nola.com became what Mr. Phelps, the Times-Picayune's publisher, called a lifeline, with more than 72 million page views by people around the world, from Sunday to Thursday last week. Mr. Amoss said page views surpassed 30 million on Friday. Before the hurricane, the site received about six million page views a week." -- From The New York Times (Nola.com is the Web site of The Times-Picayune, the daily newspaper of New Orleans.) I remember someone from the Gannett company telling me last fall how the hurricanes that swept up across the Florida Panhandle that season had taught several newspapers in that area about the value of their Web sites. Some people in the news business are still clinging to an idea that the newspaper needs to be printed on paper. When you see how many people come to your Web site in the midst of a crisis, you might get a different idea. Comments
