Washingtonâs Flagship Publication, The Washington Diplomat, Partners with Blue Water Media Web Designers to Revamp Their Web Presence
Washington, D.C. (PRWEB) April 19, 2011
The cityâs premier international community newspaper for 16 years, The Washington Diplomat, has launched a new website, http://www.washdiplomat.com, with D.C. web developers at Blue Water Media. The new site boasts extensive diplomatic resources, including detailed country and embassy pages, currency converters and other specialized information, all by leveraging the award-winning Joomla content management system. The revamped website also enhances The Diplomatâs signature editorial content, including exclusive in-depth ambassador interviews and unparalleled analysis of international affairs, politics, business, culture and more.
Blue Water Media has also updated the newspaperâs archival system, adding elements such as a distribution locator tool, and improved usability that will help the independent monthly publication better serve its elite readership of 100,000, including diplomats, top government officials and corporate leaders.
The Washington Diplomatâs exclusive new embassy resource guide offers a comprehensive outlook of each nation in a streamlined, visually appealing format. It showcases country flags alongside pertinent diplomatic information such as the biographies of all foreign ambassadors in Washington, their U.S. counterparts and the permanent representatives to the United Nations. It also includes foreign ministry materials, holidays, currency, local weather updates, detailed maps, and other resources not found anywhere else in one convenient spot. The âPast Issue Archivesâ section also now displays newspaper content dating back to January 2007, with a screenshot of each cover page along with links to previous articles, making finding diplomatic-related information an easy and efficient process.
In addition to making the site more informative and easy to navigate, Blue Water Media implemented the âDistribution Locatorâ feature that helps readers find the nearest copy of The Washington Diplomat at one of more than 600 D.C. area locations. Also, with implementation of the award-winning Joomla content management system, The Diplomat staff can continue to refine and upload new content to the website independently of Blue Water Media, ensuring that the site remains a crucial up-to-date source of information for its busy audience.
