LAVoice.org, a new site

| 4 Comments | 1 TrackBack

LAVoice.org is a new community site made up of, says the FAQs, "ultra-local newsgatherers, pundits and outspoken writers whose collective knowledge of their neighborhoods and the city at large far surpasses any information found in the mass media." In a posting yesterday, Mack Reed critiques LA.com and acknowledges he was a finalist for the editor's job.

The site explains further:

Let's face it: The mainstream L.A. media does a lousy job of covering the cities and communities that make up greater Los Angeles. LAVOICE.ORG aims to change that.

If you believe you're one of the best writers in your neighborhood, then speak out - post on LAvoice.org and give your home a voice.
