Our online Facebook and Twitter pages are up and running, and we invite our readers to check out this faster way of keeping up with what is going on in their region.
Let us assure anyone who is thinking “I don’t text and I don’t tweet” that we’ve made accessing these online sites very simple.
Just go to our Internet website, www.gmnews.com, and click on the little “ear” or corner on the top right. Pull it down and follow the links to reach any of the sites you want to visit.
To keep our coverage regional, we have divided our 10 publications into three regions for Facebook and for Twitter.
For Twitter, the sites are:
http://twitter.com/GMnews_MonWest — Examiner, News Transcript, Tri-Town News
http://twitter.com/GMnews_MonEast — Atlanticville, Hub, Independent
http://twitter.com/GMnews_Middlesx — Sentinels and Suburban
For Facebook, the sites are: Greater Media Newspapers | Monmouth West — Examiner, News Transcript, Tri-Town News
Greater Media Newspapers | Monmouth East — Atlanticville, Hub, Independent

Most of these short posts on Facebook and Twitter will link you to the full story on our website at gmnews.com.
New users should know that you do not need to have an account with Twitter or Facebook to read any posts. There is no charge to use these social media sites.
Just as email is capturing a large segment of the communication market once dominated by direct or “snail” mail, social media sites are fast becoming a convenient way of accessing information.
“Many of us in the newspaper business believe there is room for different kinds of media, and we welcome you to try this new avenue for keeping in touch with your community,” said Ben Cannizzaro, publisher and general manager of Greater Media Newspapers. “We are always looking for ways to better serve you.”
