Press-Citizen.com - Local Iowa City News

The Press-Citizen is a daily newspaper covering local news, politics, sports, entertainment, traffic, weather, shopping and personals for the Iowa City area. I was thrilled to discover a very simple and attractive site design where the stress is in presenting the news themselves and not just sponsors and banners, which seems to be the standard in other local paper sites. Precisely because of this, getting around to the stories you are looking for, on video, image gallery or text format is extremely easy. Users can subscribe to receive RSS feeds on some of the paper’s sections, or log in to manage their print subscription details and pay for the bill; thankfully, you can read the whole digital edition of the paper online, without getting those annoying signs saying that you have to subscribe to read the full article. Other than the standard areas covered by this daily, Press-Citizen.com hosts a classifieds section (powered by Classifiedsuperstore.com), and a shopping area from where you can get some savings opportunities on local stores and service providers (powered by Shoplocal.com), plus some interactive features, like the forums and polls, games and puzzles like Sudoku.
