A popular newsletter-website has a new name.
Pivot Today is now known as Delco Today. As the new name indicates, the site focuses on Delaware County, PA.
Thanks to growing national attention NBC show Saturday Night Live and the national media’s focus on the county’s changing political landscape, Delco has become a more familiar term outside the county.
The outer edge of the county includes the Chadds Ford and Boothwyn areas near the Delaware line.

It does not offer editorial opinions or significant staff-written coverage. Support comes from corporate sponsors.
The site and newsletter is owned by American Community Journals, which has similar newsletters and sites in Chester County and Montgomery County, PA.
