GetLocalNews.com: Turning Bloggers Into Your Site's Citizen Journalists

GetLocalNews.com: Turning Bloggers Into Your Site's Citizen Journalists Press release:


For media companies ready to embrace weblogs and for bloggers trying to
distinguish themselves from the masses, GetLocalNews.com offers a solution:
45,000 citizen journalism community web sites.

Think of each site as a group blog for its city with articles, message
boards and free classifieds.

"Our network of citizen journalism sites creates a middle layer in the
information world between individual blogs and fully edited news sources,"
said GetLocalNews CEO Edgar Canon.

Citizen journalists can instantly post articles about their communities and
get immediate feedback in the message boards. If the article is of national
interest, GetLocalNews can syndicate it networkwide.
