Given the collapse of local print media around here and the (future) emergence of a variety of electronic media sites, I thought this story I heard today on NPR’s “Talk of the Nation,” “Local News Sites Pick Up The Investigative Beat.” It is was an interesting discussion and included talk with the folks at the voiceofsandiego.org (which actually won a Pulitzer this year for investigative reporting) and Patch.com, which seems to be a start-up that would support local news oriented web sites. Like I said, good stuff; anyone interested in the local and quickly evolving mediascape ought to check it out.

There was a editorial in the A2 News yesterday. It appears that the new AnnArbor.com will be Ann Arbor Oriented paper only. Very little content on the smaller communities will be included. Also one of friends who owns and prints the Washtenaw Legal News and all of the other “legal news” papers offered to buy the Ann Arbor News and was turned down.
