Founded in 2012, iNFOnews (InfoTel News Ltd) reports on local news with subsites for its four readerships in British Columbia: those in Vernon, Penticton, Kamloops and Kelowna. The media outlet realizes each community is distinct, with its own perspective, successes and challenges, and so it wouldn’t be served well through a single news page. Local reporters and photographers on the ground cover breaking news as well as stories on weather, trends, local politics, business and crime. The site also features opinion articles, sports coverage, lifestyle and entertainment news, as well as information services (weather forecasts, events listings, gas prices, jobs board). Another branch of the company, iNFOTEL Multimedia, has been in the publishing business since 1989. It provides consulting services, which include marketing, advertising and website development, for local businesses in the North Thompson, Shuswap, Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton and South Okanagan areas of B.C.
