The NY Times just did something really smart: it went local. Their new blog called, appropriately, The Local, will do almost everything a small local paper might have done in the past. Since its inception one day ago a neighborhood Park Ranger has posted a sweet piece on Olmstead's influence on Ft. Greene, a neighbor's financial woes have been shared and sledding footage was uploaded after the recent snow at Ft. Greene Park. And if that wasn't enough you can also submit photos, events and celebrations (or death notices). They even have a refrigerator wall where neighborhood kids drawings are posted.
What a great move for the Times post-newspaper apocalypse. Now how can I get my local edition?
