Celsius Launches Mt. Juliet News, Marking the Final Lebanon Publishing Deployment over “Publisher” Hosted Integrated Solution
Falmouth, ME (January 9, 2011) — Celsius Technology Group LLC, a leading technology developer of open platform publishing solutions today announced the successful completion and deployment of the two remaining Lebanon Publishing papers over the Celsius Publisher platform. Mt. Juliet News a weekly free newspaper with a circulation of 12,500, was the final publication of three scheduled to go live over the Celsius open platform network. The Hartsville Vidette, a weekly newspaper covering Hartsville and surrounding communities, and the Lebanon Democrat a daily newspaper with approximately 8,500 subscribers serving Wilson County, preceded this launch.
The Lebanon Publishing family of papers shares a community-centric ideology and promotes local involvement through interactive features that allow viewers to participate online. Viewers can upload photos to a segment called “You Spotted,” submit an event for the community calendar, print out coupons to use at area businesses, find a favorite recipe and check out one of the two live web cams on the site. The tiered business directory allows area businesses to purchase a premium placement for maximum exposure.
“It was a pleasure to work with the Lebanon team on this project,” said Celsius Chief Web Officer Adam Kempler. “We were able to utilize some of Celsius’ advanced feature sets to support the level of functionality needed for the rotating coupons and galleries. Celsius is an extremely flexible and agile system that can easily adapt to the needs of a feature-rich web site and print product.”
