Another local citizen journalism site in the works
In addition to Pegasus News, another local citizen journalism project is in the works. Steve Outing reports that Backfence.com plans to launch its first site in the Washington, D.C., area in the first quarter of 2005. Online-news pioneer Mark Potts, who's involved in the venture, said, "Our vision is to create sites that offer extremely local coverage, written almost entirely by the readers, using blogs, wikis, and other formats to allow people to share community news and information with their neighbors in a friendly, ad-supported environment distributed via the Web, RSS, and other online media."
