FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Winston-Salem, NC, September 10, 2012) – Contract Web Development, Inc. is excited to announce its business and name change to the new Cover Story Media®, Inc., an online publishing company with multiple consumer-driven, web-based brands. Each website is an online community that specializes in a unique interest area – from Internet and computers to pets and earth-friendly living – providing resources, news and tips.
Contract Web Development, Inc. was founded in 2005 as a web development company. In 2007, the company expanded into search marketing which prompted the launch of a series of company-owned and operated community websites. Due to the explosive growth of this new branch of business, the web development portion of the business was phased out in 2012 to allow full focus on online publishing. The company is now operating entirely under the name Cover Story Media®, Inc.
The “stories” or articles for each of the brands are written by knowledgeable writers who research each topic extensively. “We focus on creating original, high-quality content and we pay more attention to what our readers’ needs are than the search engines’ latest animal named algorithms,” says founder and CEO of Cover Story Media®, Inc., Alex Schenker. “Our mission of providing unbiased, reader driven, and interactive content has paid off, as we have earned the trust of our readers and are seeing extensive audience growth.”
Cover Story Media®, Inc. offers readers a unique opportunity for two-way dialogue through its open article commenting policies, website forums, Facebook, and Twitter communities. “Sure, we are a publishing company, but our process does not end with it. In fact, it only starts there,” states Jeff Butler, Editor-in-Chief. “Be it new article ideas, feedback in our forums or comments on Facebook, we invite our readers to participate and shape the evolution of our content.”
As it continues to grow, Cover Story Media®, Inc. plans to expand into other topic areas and add more brands to its portfolio. “While we see a huge opportunity to build our business as we grow our audience, we operate under the philosophy of quality over quantity” says Chief Operating Officer, Michelle Schenker. “However, we are confident we can successfully replicate our business model to new verticals in the future. With a careful eye on strategic and disciplined growth, we hope to establish ourselves as a trusted resource with new readers in fresh interest areas.”
