The Journal-Enterprise officially launched it’s own website on the morning of Wednesday September 11, 2013.
“We’ve enjoyed working with Surfky the last several years, but we felt it was time to go out on our own,” said Editor Charlie Hust. “Webster County and it’s people have always been and will remain our main focus.”
In the past “journalenterprise.com” has linked readers to a section of the Surfky news site. That is no longer the case. Now it will take visitors to a site created and maintained by The Journal-Enterprise staff.
“I think this will give us greater flexibility to serve both our readers and our advertisers,” said Matt Hughes, News Editor of The Journal-Enterprise. “We can update stories on a day-to-day basis, and we can link ads right to our customer’s own websites. It also gives readers the chance to read and discuss the article right on our site, or to share it with friends through social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter."
Anyone wishing to advertise with The Journal-Enterprise online can contact us at 270-667-2068 or email matt@journalenterprise.com.
Matt, congratulations on the launch. I think we've needed this extra outlet for comments for a long time. Thanks for being forward thinking enough to initiate our venture into the 21st century!

I was actually on vacation when you posted and just now noticed it, Dr. Tucker. As I have told you before, I believe in the free exchange of ideas, and this was one way for people to do so. I hope they take advantage of it. Everyone loves to comment on Facebook and other forms of social media, hopefully they will eventually begin to use journalenterprise.com to discuss matters of importance in the schools and local government. It might not be as good as if they came to the meetings, but at least it would be a step forward.
