DENVER, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 22, 2007 -- NewsGator Technologies announced today a
comprehensive partnership with Media General where NewsGator will deliver a
suite of Web 2.0 applications using NewsGator's
Syndication Services to the full complement of Media General's
newspaper and broadcast online properties.
The initial NewsGator implementation for Media General has been deployed,
bringing News Feeds From

content from the Richmond Times-Dispatch and from the company's other
weekly and specialty properties in the market, as well as a number of other
broadcast properties.
The NewsGator applications, which are scheduled to be implemented across
additional Media General sites in the coming months, include features and
functionality enabling personalization, collaboration, and extended
syndication of Media General's content. The tools, all branded by Media
General's properties, include news and video readers, a robust widget
framework, extension of content to HTML compatible mobile phones, unlimited
access to NewsGator's massive index and aggregated RSS database and
collaboration features to allow the sharing, rating, and commenting of
articles and feeds.

great opportunities that the Web 2.0 phenomena brings to traditional
media," said JB Holston, NewsGator's CEO and President. "Media General has
a wealth of content, editorial expertise and a loyal audience. We have the
applications to deliver their readers the right information at the right
time, synchronized across a host of channels. This is the future of online
publishing."
