Editor's Notes

  • #3: LocallyGrownNews.com is my third hyperlocal: Legacy newspaper: MyTopiaCafe.com; Personal Venture: Highlands Family; MediaPowerLunch.com online education similar to Poynter’sNewsU.
  • #8: Critically important to understand this, because it has dramatic consequences for the funding strategy.
