The Palm Beach Daily News has existed on paper for 111 years, but in the past five or six years, it’s been just as “shiny” on the Internet.
The Web site, PalmBeachDailyNews.com, includes all of the stories, photos and listings that can be found in the newspaper, but also adds video from around the island, slide shows, reader comments and blogs from several staff members.
In addition, Shiny Shots features thousands of photos submitted by readers, charitable organizations, businesses and others on every topic under the Florida sun — from international travel to pets at home.
Here’s a sampling of what online content was most popular in the past season.
