I’m heading off to Orlando today to speak at Blog Orlando. Fellow blogger Tommy Duncan of Sticks of Fire and I will be co-hosting a panel on hyperlocal blogging. We will discuss the topic Can bloggers cover communities more effectively than traditional media?

The term “hyperlocal” is sometimes used to refer to news coverage of community-level events usually overlooked by mainstream media outlets.

Don’t worry if you won’t be able to make it, I plan on video taping the session. I’ll post it next week.

Metro Jacksonville has posted three interviews in the last week. Two with mayoral candidates Jackie Brown and Mike Weinstein and one with Martha Pellino who is running for district 7. That’s Sprinfield’s district ya’ll.
