Daily Astorian Launches Citizen Media Site

Submitted by LynnS on Wed, 01/25/2006 - 5:50pm.

CyberJournalist.net tips us today to Seaside-Sun.com, the Daily Astorian's new citizen journalism site. You can submit photos and news, add events to a calendar, use free web classifieds and so on:

Maybe you’ve heard of the community journalism wave. Maybe you’ve wished there was a place for neighborhood happenings or family joys that don’t make it into the paper or on radio. Maybe you’ve wanted a gathering place online for Seaside friends and family and all the news important to you. Seaside-Sun.com is all that and more.

What's to report in Seaside? The cotton-candy machine broke down?

Back in the 60s, Seaside was a hotbed. Labor day riots, Hells Angels, you name it.

Why Seaside?

If the Astorian is going to launch such a site, why Seaside rather than Astoria? Or Warrenton? Are they poaching on the Seaside Signal's turf? Is there a media war on the North Coast?

Getting the press back into the hands of the people. A great extension of the blog mentality....
