NewsBop! Odd News Prep Source

If you want your broadcasts to include regular references to popular culture on the Internet without spending time and effort maintaining web-based resources to meet your listeners' needs, or hours looking for the right material, this service is for you - and it can also provide excellent background info for a wide range of broadcasting needs.

NewsBop! has been established to provide quick and easy research material for media professionals. The headlines are currently powered by Moreover, so they are maintained around the clock with updated news added every few minutes in some cases. Even jocks working deep into the night can be sure it will offer the very latest global headlines.

Broadcasters and researchers looking for strange-but-true breaking news to spice up their programming can find a wealth of top-quality info from sources around the world in a matter of seconds.

But that's not all - as well as providing links to potential research material, NewsBop! is unbranded so that media professionals can make reference to it in their broadcasts; something along the lines of 'Take a look at newsbop.com for more strange news headlines' or even 'Take a look at newsbop.com for more of MY favourite links to various nonsense'. Listeners or viewers need not know that the website isn't maintained by the broadcast company or individual jock, but broadcasters can still gain the kudos of pointing to a single source of constantly changing pop-culture entertainment and info.

There are no direct links to Triqi Media from NewsBop! and the explanatory page you are reading now is only accessible by following links from media industry sites, media interest groups, or recommendations from colleagues.

The page loads in just a few seconds - even with slower connections - and is simple, straightforward HTML (with a smattering of Java) which requires no plug-ins. This helps maximize its compatibility with even the most basic browsers and minimizes the number of visitors who may experience problems. The page carries a very small amount of advertising, but this will not be more than a single banner at the top of the page and a single banner at the bottom.

Please remember to credit the original source of any material which is used for research or prep purposes.

If you do choose to make use of NewsBop!, please drop us a line at newsbop@triqi.com to let us know. This is not a condition of use, but it would be helpful if we knew where it was being used so we can constantly improve our services.
