PoliticalNewsToday.com, LLC (PNT) was founded in 2000 in order to take over management of the Empire Page and to explore other opportunities to aggregrate political news content. The founding partners were Wynantskill Capital, the Schwartz Heslin Group of Latham New York and Empire Information Services, Inc. (EIS). In 2004, EIS became the managing partner of PNT. (In 2007, EIS changed its name to readMedia, Inc.)
At the end of 2007, readMedia's shares of PNT.com stock were purchased by Peter G. Pollak, who currently serves as Managing Partner of PoliticalNewsToday.com LLC as well as Publisher and Editor of The Empire Page.
PNT's goal for the Empire Page is to maintain its role as the website that people who are active in and care deeply about NYS government and politics can rely on for information and opinion presented without a partisan bias. Delivery to subscribers includes daily of links to 300+ news stories, editorials and columns drawn from national, regional and local news outlets. We also promote the discussion of the issues of the day through guest editorials, exclusive columns/blogs, interviews, roundtables and other pages that are not restricted to subscribers.
New features have been added recently to extend that franchise by providing more information while at the same time making it easier to find the information people need to have. These include 11 separate topical pages for subscribers, interviews conducted with people who have solutions, and roundtable discussions of important topics by the Empire Page's regular columnists and editor.
