The Citizen Journalist

Lisa Williams has written an excellent summary of what local bloggers can do to fill in the news coverage in their communities. [via Ross Notes]

I've been reading la.localfeeds.com (XML) for a couple weeks now and there has been a bit of local event coverage (local in Los Angeles being a rather hard term to wrap ones head around). Given that so many bloggers are young, and haven't yet turned their attention to community events, there is a dearth of focused local reporting. I'm reasonably certain that will change over time.
