Penton Media Unveils Redesigned GovPro.com

Penton Media’s Government Product News (GPN) and Government Procurement (Go Pro) today announced the launch of the magazines’ joint redesigned website, www.GovPro.com.

With input from readers, a new editorial mission was created to serve the entire government market by offering dedicated content sections on key public-sector topics. Category sections include site areas dedicated to these government-market topics: public works; technology; facilities; fleets; public safety; green; grounds maintenance; parks and recreation; and federal-government product news and articles.

GovPro.com continues to provide daily updated coverage of key public-sector headlines and news, columns by staff editors, a comprehensive calendar listing of government-market trade shows and events, and an improved Government Buyers Guide directory that allows users to search for companies, products, and services by keyword or category search.

“Our award-winning content deserves an attractive, well-organized, user-friendly website, and that’s what Penton Media is unveiling for GovPro.com today,” said Josh Cable, editor. “We’re delighted to be able to make our coverage of the government marketplace more accessible than ever.”

In addition, the site now offers an article feedback tool where users can read feedback and submit their comments on various news and articles. There are also interactive media options such as video, webinars, virtual trade shows and weekly quick polls. Part of the site launch is incorporating a video gallery, called GovernmentTV, where users can find company video programs, product demonstrations, reports from industry trade shows and interviews with newsmakers. To submit a video, contact beth.brinton {at} penton(.)com.

“Our new site allows us to build on our online content base. GPN is rich in product content and Go Pro is rich in feature content,” said John DiPaola, vice president and group publisher for GPN and Go Pro. “Adding rich media content in video and audio formats means users get more information about what they are looking for and online advertisers get better search results and ROI.”
