Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger with first regional Internet portal www.rhein-berg-online.de
Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger started its first regional news portal in February 2005 in the Rheinisch-Bergischer district. On www.rhein-berg-online.de, the reader receives news updated every minute from the region for the region. The bandwidth ranges from sport to club life and the regional economy and culture. The user can find national and international news easily through links to www.ksta.de. As first local online-presence, www.rhein-berg-online.de is spun off from the supraregional online portal of Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger and put on its own feet. In Bergisch Gladbach, at the same time an own marketing concept has been developed and set up in the local online editorial office. The news website of www.rhein-berg-online.de is supplemented by a calendar of events, regional market leader and small ads market. Regional discussion forums offer the possibility to take part in an active exchange of views. A mobile news service via SMS will in future expand the range of services offered.
