JULY 2009 | The Vinton Eagle, in collaboration with the advertising and marketing division of Monkeytown, are proud to announce the creation of 'The Daily Eagle'. The Daily Eagle is the only electronic source for timely, local news and information. "'The Daily Eagle will be delivered to your inbox in the form of an e-mail notification and will be available 24/7 online at our website www.vintoneagle.com."

"We have incorporated the concept of local contributors to promote the breadth of our coverage and to enhance civic news and event awareness," said Kurt Karr, Monkeytown President. "For example, area school districts, public libraries, health professionals, and funeral directors, among many others, will be able to publish up-to-the-minute news as soon as it becomes available. "This will allow Eagle readers access to breaking news through a trusted local news source, The Vinton Eagle," added Lu Karr.
