Our Thanks to You the Reader of Newsroom Panama: A New Feature has been Added.

First of all, I would like to thank you so much for reading Newsroom Panama.  You are the best and it is showing in all our recent internet reports.  Give yourselves a hand: Here is a recent report we received.  “Newsroom Panama is widely considered the best and most established dedicated English-language online newspaper in Panama, offering regular coverage of local politics, business, and community events.  As for the ‘Top English News Platforms’:  Newsroom Panama: Best for daily national headlines, investigative updates, and general domestic affairs tailored to expats and English speakers.“   We have some stories read by over 160,000 readers according to internal counters within the news App.  We had issues where some stories would crash the website with overload.  Too many readers at one time trying to read a story.  Our web guy has fixed that issue.

We listen to our readers and you can email us at your leisure with comments that we always appreciate receiving.  We do our best to answer all emails, but occasionally we are so busy writing stories that we miss a few, and for that, we apologize.  We start writing at 6am and continue around the clock.  If you have signed up, you receive our nine stories and Morning Smile every day around 5am.  Sometimes the App will miss sending the Morning Smile and we do apologize for mornings where that happens.  I always enjoy a smile to start my day.  Recently we were asked about text to speech, and we are trying it out.  You may have noticed at the end of most new stories, there is an “Audio transcript” button, where the story will be read aloud to you.  Try it out and let us know your feedback.

Maybe in the morning you would rather have stories read to you, rather than you read them.   We are training the voice to understand $ signs, and shortcuts and pausing and full stops and more.  Pronunciation can be an issue and we have many Spanish words that we have to deal with.  It is a work in progress, but we listen to you, our readers and we want to make our E-Paper your favorite daily newspaper on either Smart Phones, or Computer devices.   Keep in touch with us dear friends and readers, and welcome to our news and special events circle.  We enjoy the stories that you send by email and your tips for stories to follow.  This is a community effort and this is your newspaper, and we truly appreciate your additions to what we do.  We have ‘Guest Contributions’ that help pay the bills, as well as a few local advertisers that we appreciate.   If you decide to advertise with us, you will be surprised with the amazing results.  Chat with Kim Thomas in Advertising.  All the best to you and yours.  Telly, News Director, and all the writers and staff at https://NewsroomPanama.com
