Open a window on Panama

THIS WEEK, newsroompanama.com celebrates six years of providing a FREE news and feature service to readers in Panama and  around the world.

From a modest beginning of some 9,000 visits   a month, it has grown to a monthly, and constantly expanding  average of 105,000, in spite of  occasional “blackouts” through internet failures, power cuts, feeds, and other hazards of the cyberspace world. Over 10,000 items have beeen publisged and may be accessedby using the searxh box.

Fifty-two  percent of visitors are from outside of Panama, led by the US and Canada.

The service is provided  365 days a year, through local and world holidays, so wherever you live you can open a window on Panamaat any time of night or day.

To make it even easier, you can join over 1,200 regular readers whose day starts with an early morning news feed with the main story headings delivered by e-mail to their app of choice. When, for external reasons the system malfunctions, readers are quick to notify us of withdrawal symptoms. To sign up, just go to the subscription panel on the Home page, and enter your email address. It won’t be passed on to anyone else.

Meanwhile, we continue welcome contributions and constructive comments from readers. Abusive language will fall victim to the Trash button.
