Credit Union Times and CUTimes.com are the industry's leading news sources for fast and accurate information for forward-thinking credit union leaders.

"This is a crucial time for Credit Union Times and CUTimes.com," said Editor-in-Chief Sarah Snell Cooke. "Over the past few years, our Website has seen a huge increase in traffic, as well as syndication from credit union and mainstream press. This new Website re-energizes our brand with a streamlined design."

Cooke says the site will continue to provide the unbiased in-depth coverage most important to credit union executives but with more user-friendly navigation. "Our editors have more than 100 years of experience covering this industry, and now we can combine industry-leading coverage with the best that the Web has to offer, including new tools, applications, and data products."

"The open-source technology the new CUTimes.com is built on brings advertisers and readers alike to an upgraded level of online business," said Tom Greve, Publisher.  "The new site builds on the extensive reach of CUTimes.com, while providing the option for non-traditional advertising opportunities, custom packages, and sophisticated campaign monitoring."

CUTimes.com is the third Website Summit Business Media has built on the open-source platform.  Cloud computing allows CUTimes.com the flexibility and resources it needs to scale rapidly, while a new content management system allows editors to publish content more quickly.

"We pride ourselves on covering breaking news, and this enables editors to spend more time serving the industry and less time uploading individual stories," said Rob Flaherty, director of interactive media.

CUTimes.com also has a suite of eNewsletters delivering breaking news and targeted, relevant content for credit union leaders. To subscribe, visit http://www.CUTimes.com/eNewsletters
