TownNews launches new CMS

TownNews has launched its new content management system, BLOX. Lee, of course, is the majority owner in TownNews, and many of Lee's websites will be switching to BLOX. (The "Move over Gutenberg" line in the press release is a bit much.) Has anyone switched over to BLOX yet? Any reviews?

"Enterprise of the Year" finalists announced

The winner will be announced in November. The 5 finalists:

• Lee Agri-Media
• TownNews.com
• Cayuga Media, which includes The Citizen and The Skaneateles Journal
• Kauai Publishing Co., which includes The Garden Island
• Lincoln (Neb.) Journal Star

Lee has details on why these 5 enterprises were picked. I will mention, though, that the Journal Star was selected because of  "strong performances in revenue." The paper laid off 16 employees in July to cut costs.
