DAILY INTERNET NEWSPAPER AIMED AT CHRISTIAN AUDIENCE ANNOUNCED

Haymarket, VA, March 18, 1999 - IWAS Internet, a leading Christian Web publisher, today announced the launch of Free Daily (http://www.freedaily.com), an alternative online newspaper created for the evangelical Christian community.

Free Daily, published on the Web six days a week, presents U.S. and world news, opinion columns, and editorials from a conservative, Christian perspective.

Ted Gausmann, editor of Free Daily, stated, "We’re excited about bringing an alternative news source to online Christians. We obviously don’t claim to be a completely objective source for news, and we won’t strive to be. We want to provide interesting, relevant news and commentary for people with a Christian, rather than secular, world-view."

 

Free Daily publisher IWAS Internet (http://www.iwas.com) was founded in 1997 by Ted and Janie Gausmann. The company has created a number of popular Christian Web sites, including ServeHim.com, a Christian portal with thousands of users cited by ABCNEWS.com as an example of the new Internet trend toward specialized "mini-portals"; ChildrensMinistry.net, noted in Children’s Ministry magazine as "the biggest collection of categorized children’s ministry resources on the Web"; and, Christian Topics, recently highlighted in Gospel Communications Networks' "Internet for Christians" newsletter as "a spiritual treasury for Christian growth".
