REGARDING:
“on a slow day, about 50,000 people read NorthEscambia.com ”

Impressive

So if the Atmore guys who want more Lower Alabama coverage cloned you. . . ?

Thanks William I can tell you that the news we have here in atmore is horrible they always run the same stories. Its always the same people and like you said they do not run half of the stories that are actually happening. Atmore advance and atmore news is just a bland piece of paper with alot of jibberish written on it. It would be nice if we could actually get some decent news reported for our area. Im doing my best to get thing started to where I can find out the news that atmore doesnt want to report or want you to know about. I feel compelled to let the people know the truth about what is going on around us.

Sounds like Alabama needs to get a better news reporter for their area. Good job William, we appreciate you.

I live less than a mile north of 9 mile, but I read here first thing every morning and usually check at least once in the evening for updates. Usually I read the PNJ site at lunch to see if they have caught up to William yet.

JJ said “Besides, I think William has a money-back guarantee. If you don’t think you’ve gotten your money-worth of news from this site, he’ll most likely give you back however much you paid to read……… oh….. wait……”

Awesome. Besides that, probably one of Williams dozens of reporters responded to the other scene, right?

Thanks for a great informative site that is a resource for ALL of Escambia County

William, Keep up the good work! Just ignore the bad comments on your site. This is the best source of news we have so include the nine mile road area and anywhere else you feel the north end might want to hear about. Forget the news journal, it is no good at all for local news. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INFO!

> the people in Escambia County, ALABAMA, are a lot closer than the people in PENSACOLA. Yet, we seldom see a lot of pertinent news that goes on around here. I just don’t see how you can report on a wreck on Old Atmore Road, and not report on a DUI wreck that happened on 21 near I-65 that happened within the same day or so.

Again I do appreciate our Escambia, Ala. readers. But we cover North Escambia, Florida, and include some of the bigger stories from Escambia, Ala. and Santa Rosa counties because we have thousands of readers there.

I don’t’ know what stories that you consider “Pensacola” stories, but we also offer coverage of stories of county-wide interest in Escambia County, Fla. because we cover the north half of the county. We don’t cover the Pensacola City Council, for instance, because it’s Pensacola, not Escambia County. North Escambia is in Escambia County, Fla., so the county commission, etc. is of interest to many.

Most people in North Escambia travel to Pensacola several times per month, or work there. So sometimes we do stories of interest to those people.

As for the Old Atmore Road wreck, that involved a fatality and it was less than 2/10 of a mile north of the Florida line. (And, at the time I started driving to it at 3 a.m., it was reported to 911 as being in Florida.)

I-65 and Highway 21 is *not* in our coverage area. If it had involved a fatality, we probably would have ran it, but otherwise not.

Understand that on a slow day, about 50,000 people read NorthEscambia.com a total of about 8 million times per month. Most are in North Escambia and the rest of Escambia County, Fla. That’s our coverage area, and that’s what we cover most.

It might not be the coverage that you as an Atmore? resident might want on NorthEscambia.com, but it’s a formula that works well. We are one of the most widely read websites on the Gulf Coast.

(But again, we love all of you in the other areas that read NorthEscambia.com. I sometimes wish we could cover you more!)

And we always welcome your comments and suggestions.

First of all, I know it was at least a week before her death was announced on here, because I watched for it. Now, as far as the news itself, as I said before, the people in Escambia County, ALABAMA, are a lot closer than the people in PENSACOLA. Yet, we seldom see a lot of pertinent news that goes on around here. I just don’t see how you can report on a wreck on Old Atmore Road, and not report on a DUI wreck that happened on 21 near I-65 that happened within the same day or so.
