History of BeachConnection.net

Oregon Coast Beach Connection/BeachConnection.net has its roots in a magazine that was on the central coast for almost ten years. As it changed hands over time, it became obvious the technology of the Internet and of handheld devices was going to eliminate the need for print publications eventually, having made sizable dents in that industry already . It was decided in the summer of 2005 that the switch would be made to the Net, and in early 2006 the current model of BeachConnection.net came into existence, as daily news stories began circulating on Google news and a variety of other news and RSS feed networks.

In late 2007, the website began utilizing video on top of the other various cutting edge techniques for distributing content, and now has a growing number of coastal videos on YouTube. More unusual and visionary approaches will be added to the website soon.

Publisher/editor Andre' Hagestedt is a veteran entertainment journalist who has worked with Salem's Statesman Journal, The Oregonian, KXL radio, The Rocket (Seattle), Valley Business Weekly, Eugene Weekly, BarFly Magazine and a host of others.
