Back in 1992, before there was such a thing as a Web browser, we were putting news about our company on the Internet.  Getting to company information and news releases involved something called Gopher, an early Internet file-sharing protocol.  Suffice it to say, if you never used it, you don’t want to know.

A lot of things have changed since then, but one that hasn’t is our commitment to making information about Verizon as convenient to get as possible.  Whether it’s more FiOS TV channels, the latest, coolest wireless gear or expanded enterprise services, we’re making news throughout the week.

To help make it easier for journalists and bloggers to find our news, we’ve recently revamped our online News Center to incorporate more graphics, multimedia and other useful tools.  It’s something that our customers and other members of the public can use too.

The site features breaking news and searchable archives of news releases going back to our predecessor companies.  Anyone can register to receive out latest news releases by e-mail or subscribe to our RSS feed.  Wireless and large-business news are available with a click.

With a couple of clicks of the mouse, visitors can also browse our new video, audio and image library.  No registration is required to look around and sample what’s up there, including a fun video about the latest Interactive Media Guide features, but you’ll need to register to download it.

I will continue to talk about Verizon products and services here at Policy Blog, but if you’re following Verizon, you should check out the News Center.  And, if you see something that gives you an idea for improvements, let me know how we can make it better.
