2007-06-01
Interia.pl, the third-largest Polish internet portal in terms of the number of real users, has launched a vortal that is to provide local information from around the country.
According to the press statements, the new service is aimed chiefly at the local communities from smaller towns. The content is to be generated in cooperation with local newspapers, internet portals and radio and television stations. Interia.pl emphasizes that the Polska Lokalna vortal will have a local perspective which is not present in the nationwide media. The website will offer, among other items, social, cultural and sport news along with chatrooms, forums and local online community services as well as weather forecasts. The company also intends to give the users the opportunity to submit information on events in their neighbourhoods.
