In keeping with our efforts to maintain a viable online presence, we’ve just given our website a new look.

Yes, MantecaBulletin.com has a new masthead and some additional features to help connect the dots for you, though our intent is still to provide you with a very local website, driven by the efforts of our news-gathering team.

With about 60,000 monthly viewers, and page-views approaching the 500,000 mark, we consider our website to be a compliment to our local newspaper, a likely gateway to our future, and yes, it’s still free, at least for the moment.

Look for more local content, obituaries now with photos, and more of the Bulletin’s local news on the site. Though we’re not so much about national news and national sports with our website, we will cover our local market like a blanket, thanks to the Bulletin news and advertising teams. In the future, we will continue to add news and advertising features, as we develop them.

Down the road a few weeks, we will also begin a new registration process and soon after begin charging for our website use for non-Bulletin subscribers. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy our new site, MantecaBulletin.com.
