The
Post Publishing Plc. launched three new websites in 2003: PostToday.com,
BangkokPostJobs.com and the Bangkok Post archives.
PostToday.com
offers website visitors a brief synopsis of the day’s top stories
from The Post Publishing’s new Thai-language business daily,
Post Today.
The very popular BangkokPostJobs.com is a fully-searchable free
job website, containing all of the job listings from the print
edition of Bangkok Post and Post Today. It is visited by more
than 100,000 people each month.
On BangkokPostJobs.com,
job seekers are able to search an extensive job database and
leave their resumes for prospective employers to view. They
can even sign up to receive free email job alerts to notify
them when a job matching their profile comes into the database.
Employers
who advertise in the newspaper also benefit from this website
as they have access to the database of resumes to help them
in their search for suitable candidates.
The Bangkok
Post’s all new, fully-searchable archives, dating from 1996
to the present day, provide viewers with an easy-to-use tool
for searching not only Bangkok Post news and feature stories
but photographs as well. Currently, registered members can view
articles, which have appeared in the newspaper within the last
seven days, for free. Access to older articles is available
for a nominal fee.
The company’s
flagship website, BangkokPost.com, also had an outstanding year.
Advertising revenue was up nearly 15% from the previous year
and page views were up 25%, to an average of approximately 5,000,000
pages each month.
Overall,
2003 was a good year, filled with exciting new changes for Post
Electronic Publishing.
