Welcome to Niles Online

Niles Online is a family-owned publishing company specializing in community-driven niche websites.

Our largest site, Theme Park Insider, was honored with an Online Journalism Award for Service Journalism in 2001 by the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. It was the first time any website was honored with major journalism award for a "crowdsourced" report written entirely by its readers. Today, more than 20,000 members rate and review thousands of shows, rides, restaurants and hotels at the world's top theme and amusement parks.

Our oldest site, Violinist.com has grown into a global community for violin performers, teachers, students, makers and fans. Its editor, Laurie Niles, is a professional violinist and journalist who has interviewed some of the world's top violinists for the site, including Joshua Bell, Hilary Hahn and Ruggerio Ricci.

New this month, Tip Reel is a social advice network, where readers share and vote on tips covering a variety of subjects.

Coming soon: Pasadena Public will bring readers in areas covered by the Pasadena (California) Unified School District with daily news and features, from a team of local, experienced, professional news reporters.
