EmpirePage.com

The Empire Page was created in 1999 by Chris Chichester, who at the time was living in the Albany, NY area and had recently left a position in the communications office of Governor George Pataki. When Chris put up a "for sale" sign on the site in the fall of 1999, it was purchased by PoliticalNewsToday.com, LLC, a partnership between Empire Information Services, Inc. of Schenectady, NY, Schwartz Heslin Group of Latham, NY and Wynantskill Capital of Wynantskill, NY. PNT.com has been producing the site since February, 2000.

Each morning Empire Page editors visit the websites of selected national and regional news media and select the news stories, editorials and columns they believe will be of interest to the site's visitors/readers. PNT.com has rejected the idea of using a program to do this job, feeling that in the long run live editors will do a better job of finding the items people most care about.
