Overview

Guidry News Service has two publications that cover public meetings and special events in Harris, Galveston and Jefferson counties: The Online News Station and Gulf Coast E-news.

The Online News Station at www.GuidryNews.com is our website.  It is supported by advertising.

We document public meetings and special events with photos, video, audio and text.

We maintain special pages for news releases and photos provided by school districts and colleges in our Education section which is steadily increasing in readership and submission of information by institutions of education and instruction.

GNS Features pages, Business, Faith & Values and Entertainment offer current, compelling reports on issues and events that enrich our readers' experience.  Entertaining and informative special columns Victor Lang Remembers and Brenda's Garden keep a loyal and growing audience coming back for more.

Our Weather and Obituaries pages are very popular with our local and regional audience with those seeking immediate, time sensitive information.  Those wishing to exchange ideas and opinions read and contribute to our Forum page.

We currently average over 101,000 hits per day on weekdays.  During special events such as elections our hits approach 250,000 per day. Visitors to The Online News Station include the general public as well as elected officials, administrators, educators, entrepreneurs, arts and non-profits and other media outlets. 

If you explore The Online News Station you'll have a good idea of our appeal to a wide audience across the Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast and to those throughout the world who are interested in issues and happenings in our region.  It is often said by our audience that GNS reports are "just like being there".

Gulf Coast E-news is a daily newsletter providing comprehensive coverage of posted public meetings. We report the agenda: what passes, fails or is tabled. In the beginning, in 1996, our daily publication was a newsletter called Galveston Fax, which was distributed solely by fax.

Gulf Coast E-news is distributed by email at 4 p.m. each business weekday.

Subscriptions are $300 per year. Our subscribers include media outlets, public officials, business administrators, lawyers, engineers, developers and others who need to know more information than is provided by the traditional media.
