Local paper and local blogs
The News Sentinel has added two features to enhance its family of community news Web sites called YourHub.com.
The 20 sites, launched in November, give citizens a place to instantly post stories, photos, opinions and event announcements on community “hubs” that serve as a gathering point for intensely local information.
Now, neighbor reporters can also create blogs on their local hub, as well as opt to provide profile information that will appear on a user profile page. Users may also choose to display a photo and an abbreviated version of the profile in a “contributor information box” alongside items they post on the hub.
“We want YourHub.com to be a community bulletin board, where anyone can share news and information,” said News Sentinel Editor Jack McElroy. “These features give citizens new ways to express themselves.
YourHub.com can be found here.
