Media Industry Clients
Planet Discover has helped nearly 300 media clients (newspaper and broadcast) build vibrant user communities and generate sustained revenue. Here's a sampling:
Azcentral.com
Owned by Gannett Co., azcentral.com, position's itself as "Arizona's Home Page." Using Planet Discover's Local Search application, the site serves an active user community with comprehensive local resources: news, directory listings, local website content, sports, travel, and other traditional content, as well as a data center, videos, user-generated content, and popular verticals like Arizona Moms.

"The fastest, cleanest search results around."
... according to Jeff Herr, Director of Online Operations for Tucson Newspapers. He is referring to Planet Discover's search implementation on Tucson.com. This new search capability gives users access to stories from dailies and niche publications within the Tuscon Newspapers network, as well as results from verticals, classifieds, and local websites.
