RE: UKNM: Sky goes free (sort of)

[Bunder, Leslie]

But as we all know from seeing Web sites, an annoucement is made and

reported in the press and on TV/radio yet there is no reference to it on

a Web site of the company concerned.


It gets worse expecially when they issue a press release, yet it is not

uploaded onto the Web site until a week or even later after the event!


I think many businesses are now realising it is important to get up your

press release/announcement as soon as you issue the paper release.  


But for some sites and businesses, it is an issue to be resolved

internally who actually maintains and updates the site. Is it marketing,

is it MIS/technical, is it the agency????  Whatever it is, it is an

issue to be resolved and they need to be pro-active about it.


When Bradford & Bingley recently had a vote on becoming a bank, it was

good to see that as soon as the result of the vote was known they

updated the site.
